Yep... and for that price you are in a constant traffic jam as well..... and the average e60 "M" here costs about 200.000 USD..
Try telling THAT to your wife

In Saudi Arabia, the price 1L of water = the price of 3L Fuel Premium. I used to fill up my car with 11$ . Good old days
Man, I wish... and here I am not liking $45 per tank.

Yes, I know this. M5board forums already mentioned it. and the most expensive is in Europe.. and North America is about the middle.

Make the switch to AMG, you wont look back

Oh I forgot it.... Damn $1400 monthly? why? top rpm driving all day??? lol

I drive about 300 to 400 km per tank. Yes, mix driving and mix mode (p400 about 80% and p500 20%).

But in stock, it gets about 250-300 kms. After the Ecu remap it gets much better mileage and power too. I wonder why? the mods I have done (see my signature) are supposed to get worse the gas mileage but it is not.

Well, that's how much it costs to go warp speed on Earth. Actually this is cheap (relatively) since it's only gasoline the M is consuming. Compared to the Enterprise, it uses photon energy (or some sort) to do the same.
