I have a 525i Sport and ive found that when i put my foot down i can only do about 20/25 miles before a good 1/4 of a tank is used....now this seems somewhat absurd.
i realise im probably not getting close to 50mpg but it seems to be drinking it when i decide to 'have some fun'.
is this 'just the way it is' or has my baby got some kind of problem...

[/quote]The gas prices will get up to $ 6 - 7 / gallon soon, but the good vodka cost overhere already now more than $ 80 / gallon
What about a Toyota Prius?

you can only start whining when your fuel prices hit around 6 bucks for a gallon.
thats what we have right now in the uk....$6.19 ish f***ing dollars per gallon of fuel i put in...
i hate this countrys absurd tax laws.
i.e. to fill up the tank costs me a whopping 113 bucks. (ish)
