In the M6 it's about $1.50 to $2.00 per mile but completely worth it. When we do our spirited driving or a track day, it dips to 6 MPG in the display which is actually as low as the display shows. Actually mileage is probably in the 3-4 mpg range on the track. The S85 is a BEAST!!

Back in 2000, it cost me $15.39 per MINUTE to run my car in competition...NOT including car/insurance payments! The smiles per minute (SPM) were worth it at the time driving a nationally-competitive car at major events, but as I approach old age I wish that younger me would have invested all of that money into a retirement account and not blown it on rubber and trophy futures.....

Don't get me started on the double filtered water bubbler. The cat is getting filtered water from the faucet and getting filtered again by the bubbler. Sometimes I believe my cat's drinking water is cleaner than what most people drink. |

Does 93 come from the sky, like rain??? We don't have nothing like that in the Golden State of California. It seems this is like snipes, and steelhead.
There used to be a station that had "race gas 104" for about $15/gallon. I filled up my motorcycle a few times, but the mechanic told me I wasn't jetted for that kind of heat as he was trying to put things back together (not literally) |

Edit - hey, there's another huge first-first world problem. California gas prices. I've seen it hit $5.30 / gallon for 87 unleaded regular here in the bay area. Currently it's like $3.65 for 87 octane. Edit #2 : Also, high as fuck taxes. First, they tax your income. Then they add tax to your registration - and sales tax for buying the car to begin with. Then there's a gas tax. And you pay for the gas and registration with your post-tax income to begin with. Talk about triple-dipping. Get your fucking greasy fingers out of my paycheck.

Salt on the roads not encouraging me to drive the 128i year round.
Going on almost nine years with my little bimmer and would like to keep it rust free until gas runs out ha!

Let me see if I can translate that into your first world problem: having to put up with the winter beater so that the other cars in the stable remain pristine. I have a solution: get a nice car that you don't care about! You're welcome.
