Food sounds like 400 or something if you don't go nuts eating out.
Energy was costing me about 300 in madison

Food can be high depending on how much you eat out. I go to woodmans once a month and costs me around $150. Usually have to pick a few things up here and there so tack on another $50-100. Eating out, well that gets expensive.

Gas: $80 (average with winter and summer)

Electric: $80 (average)

Rough estimates on what it costs me. I have a two story house so that prob costs a little more. Keep the temp at 66 during the winter and 74 in summer on most days

sounds good. Thanks

Ok folks,

I just received my car back from the dealer. Here is my current experience thus far:

* Dealer installed ISTA 2.40.2 - Programmed and encoded complete vehicle as per recall
* Performed vehicle test, checked fault memory, test low pressure sensor
* Replaced HPFP as per recall. Used part number 13-51-7-613-933 This is not the latest!
* Replaced 4 fuel injectors with part number 13-53-7-585-261
* Replaced 4 decoupling elements part number 13-53-7-564-751

* Car drives VERY VERY smooth.
* Car starts up immediately, as it did previously.
* Car idles at 700 rpms! This is not a fluke. This is on a fully warmed up engine after 20 miles of driving.

I suspect they raise the idle to 700 rpms in order to keep the HPFP from starving for fuel. Again, this is just a guess. Previously my car would idle at 550 rpms with fully warmed up engine!


As for my experience with PerilloBMW: I was pleasantly surprised:

* They also did a free oil change (Last replaced on Dec 09, 2010. Oil barely had 300 miles on it)
* They replaced all 6 spark plugs (Not due till 24K)
* They replaced air filter

I spend around:

$80 on fuel
$300-500 on food an restaurants. I cook most of the time with and I only buy quality ingredients. Food is something I do not make sacrifices on quality with.
$30-35 electric on average
$30-140 on heating gas depending on the season.
