Inquiring minds want to know.

Actually, for a short while gas was 99 cents a gallon for regular unleaded here in Arizona about 5 years ago, so $1.04 is not shockingly low. Gas is usually about 10-15 cents higher per gallon in LA and San Diego than here in Phoenix. Premium is now around $2.99 at Costco as of a couple of days ago...

I won't bitch and moan about gas price until it his 5.00 $/gallon. This discussion won't get me anywhere. When I purchased the vehicle: I knew it weighs close to 5,000lb and gets me poor non-freeway milage.
I share your concerns though.

I pay around $70-72 a week to fill up the gas tank and this is with the computer saying I have about 45 miles left.

$3.45 up here at the local costco. Regular gas stations about 10 cents higher.. Some SD gas stations are notorious ripoffs though..

Yup, X5 gets a more expensive dinner than I do, but such is life. Good thing M3 does well with gas with comparison with the X5. However, $5.6K for a new tranny....that would buy lots of fuel!!

Well, expensive toys=expensive habits=expensive maintainance....
