WOW

What a SHOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't drive my 335i very often due to I live less the a mile from work so I walk to work everyday and and I have been working every weekend since April. My first weekend off was this one.
So my girlfriend and I went out in the BMW, but I needed fuel right, last time I put gas in her it was 50 or so dollars. But this time 75 dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shit, I feel sorry for those who have to drive everyday!!!!!!!!!!!

UM not to be an asshole to anyone but if you bought a BMW and you are worried and complaining about gas prices SELL YOUR CAR because it is TOO MUCH money for you to handle. Not talking about you (OP) but I have seen too many people saying hows expensive gas is and they may not be able to afford it BLAH BLAH BLAH so I was talking baout those fools.

Nothing like a rant and rave .......... UM, sounds more like the OP was just commenting on his surprise in seeing the price changes/increases for gas from the last time he had filled up.

Chill dude.

Dude, you gotta know that only those who foolish with their money are those without money!

Don't get me wrong but there're MANY up on this board who work in the assembly line, getting paid below 60k/yr and drive BMW. That made up a large percentage of those "assholes" BMW-drivers that have brought the bad name to all of us. I also hate those Civic drivers. Every single time I have to brake hard on the highway will be because of some 19ish idiot driving a Civic cutting right in front of my car.

Yeah, but that's not because of the price of the fuel itself. That's because of your country's outrageous taxes on the fuel.

I don't know how much the price differ from down there or how long it has been but it dropped like about 45cents since last month. I recall going to Shell and Chevron with 5.10 and up and now I see it 4.45. I was worried it would go to 6.00 at the end of the year.

Dude, they're jealous of what you're driving and have to prove their inferiority complex to you.

LOL ...... the only thing that causes me to brake hard is a short skirt or g'ma & g'pa Sunday driving.

On a side note ...... the BMW drivers (or anyone else driving whatever else) who complain about the cost of fuel are very likely to be the same folks who drive a block to the store rather than walk, ride down the highway well above the speed limit and of course those who love the idea of owning "prestige" but not the cost that goes along with it.

Civic drivers crack me up ........ saw a 3 tiered wing on an 80's Honda Accord over the weekend.........

More conservation brings LESS frustration.

That's nonsense, what's wrong with not liking the gas price?!

My fuel tank takes about 120 dollars of gas.... 75 is peanuts. Gas is gas, I imagine we already paid a facking premium when buying the car! Oh wait, your 335i costs less then my 320d over here. ... what was I saying about premium?

i don't know why a bmw is an impractical choice for those looking to save on gas. my 335 is more fuel efficient that all those gas friendly cars on television commercials right now. my car easily gets over 30 mpg on the highway

Over 30?

I'm guessing you have no tune? I am able to reach 28.4 highway but, admittedly I was NEVER able to hit more than 29......? even when stock.

Over 30 ......... downhill with a tail wind, right?

Listen here, I don't work an assembly line, but I make a lot less then 65k, so you are calling me one of those assholes. Since when do you need to make a certain amount of money to buy a BMW, you must be one of those snotty Assholes.

No, not at all. Normally, I will be driving all the way to the left, passing people and there a Civic flying down the road, squeeze right in front of me before I was going to pass another car.

No no no, sorry for the wording. I was to point at those wanna be kids around the area. I'm sure you probably have heard lines like guy 20ish, high school/college dropout, working in manufacture since 19, driving BMWs and be an ass to everybody.
