Yeah. If gas doesn't bother you, the 4.8i is nice.

The difference in the MPG figures between 3.0i and 4.8i when driving are not that much, the advantage of the 3.0i I believe is when you are stuck in traffic as you burn less petrol.

4.8i, no question. Negligible difference in MPG for a huge difference in performance. I agree, drop the sprt pckg and get some extra goodies--that is, unless you really want those rims.

I wouldn't hesitate to order the 4.8i if you don't mind the gas. $3k is chump change for what you get in the performance. $9k is a different story (if ordering identical options). BUT, I'd be scared of the jerkiness of the transmission being reported all over the place. Cross your fingers.

Gas wouldnt be a huge issue. I wish they would just throw in the twin turbo (which could be the 3.5?) and that would solve my power thirst, as for a diesel though, I am not too big of a fan
