It costs me around ?75 ($155 USD) for ONE TANK OF FUEL in my 535d. That lasts me about 460 miles. My wife's X5 takes ?85 ($180 USD) for one tank of fuel and does around 400 miles.

One cannot have performance/power with good mpg
Check out the Tesla....Not the cheapest car in the world, but it offers ridiculous performance given the mpg.

In Europe, we pay almost $2 USD per liter which means your 1 Gallon would cost here almost $8 USD.

Currently ?1.10 per litre which using google to convert to US gallons works out at a nice $8.50
Plus my lowly 520 would be $60k.
I'd love yor prices ;-)

I think the main point is about efficiency (mpg/power), and by that definition, we've come a long way. Luxury/Performance automakers tend to focus more on increasing performance while maintaining the set minimum mpg. The I6 engine is a perfect example. If one wants an increase in mpg and performance is not on the wishlist, a Prius or electric/hybrid is a better choice.
And I'm afraid that the other international owners blew this discussion out of proportion, & your comment brought it back to what I meant for here in the US.
Sorry for the confusion to all!!
