Uh, actually no. They pay about twice as much. But they do get low-sulfur gasolines, better roads, and stuff like that. You get what you pay for........or to put a more positive spin......."you pay more you get more".

Hmmm, maybe if I make my dad drive the Civic as a commute car, and my mom drives the X3 as the occasional grocery getter, perhaps we could save money. Maybe I'll suggest that if prices shoot to $5 a gallon.
