Damn! We got the same problem here..... Filling up an E60 with 95-octane will cost you $ 110,- (diesel approx. $ 90,-).
Not to mention the high taxes on the cars itself

I filled up the new X6 with 100+ octane and it cost around 110$. You guys are very lucky in the states. It's pathetic how much we have to pay. I think if an American would have to live in europe and drive the car here...would simply die out of starvation. 
At least we get the super flamable petrol.

I am in Germany but I am really lucky that I can get gas on post. Where I used to pay in the $70+ range I am in the low $40's to High $30's. (Sounds like a forecast)
