Diesel fuel
Diesel fuel has consistently been 30 cents per gallon higher than premium and more in my area all winter. Just wondering if this would have influenced your decision to buy the 35d. I know that mpg would more than make up for the cost compared to the 50i, but still... Hard to swallow paying .30 more per gallon than the gas-filling brethren.

You mean people who drive BMW's are concerned with fuel economy?

In my area, about 30 miles outside of Los Angeles, Diesel has been anywhere from 5-15 cents a gallon less than premium gasoline. Now it is the same or a few cents more the premium gas. Our local Shell station told me the raise in all gas and diesel prices relates to the Egyptian crisis. Yeah right!! :-o

The best way to save fuel is to stop making short trips all over town. Instead plan and combine trips thru the week that way one can drive less and of course driving less means less fuel consumption.

I'm sure prices effect big rig drivers also but the thread was about diesel fuel prices and the decision to buy the 35d.
