My Ride: 2008 530d M sport
Well. In response to the $4 a gallon thread, i thought i would post this....
I have a 530 M Sport Petrol and it costs me $140 (UK equivalent £6 a gallon or £90 to fill my car up.....)
That means we pay $9.30 a gallon for petrol
Also the diesel costs £6.35 a gallon.
Thats USD $9.85 a gallon! how bad is that! So all those people that have diesels in Uk are not really that much better of than petrol drivers
How about that then!!

I still have to drive 50 miles a day to and from work and england might be small but public transport is expensive and takes forever (journey time by public transport for daily commute .... 2 hours each way.... who would do that???)

Yeah all our American friends who complain at their prices don't quite realise how lucky they are. We pay a fortune for our fuels and it's not as if we have huge average salaries either. I have 545i and at least quarter of my monthly wage goes on petrol. That's just if I'm commuting to work and around town. If I actually go anywhere our of the city it can cost me double per month.

....but as a pal from NYC who visited recently pointed out, we get free healthcare, free prescriptions, free trips to the doctor and cheap NHS dentists which make it feel okay i reckon
