That's cuz your commute is pretty much from here * to * here. Geez your car prob doesnt even get warmed up by the time you reach your workplace.

The X3 seems like a guzzler simply cuz the fuel tank is on the small side (17.7 gal) for an SAV.

Old daily commute = 50 miles roundtrip
New daily commute = 2 miles roundtrip

My seatwarmers are just getting warm as I'm parking my X at work!

Yeah, opposite here. Went from a >5 mile commute to a 70+ round trip every day...hence the 50,000 miles on a 2004 X5 that I bought new in August of 2004.

(Maryland alone is a 7th of the size of the UK)

actually although the longer commute of 25 miles each way have cost you more $$$$


the short commute will be doing your X5 no favours and indeed IMO will bring your service forward by a good bit.

although we pay a higher fuel cost here in the UK not to mention our 1 gallon = your 1.20 gallon if I remember correct.

We do benefit from getting much better fuel than you guys.
