Subject: I enjoy driving my 7, its the reason behind the hike that gets my goat Author: bavariancowboy : member since February, 2005 : 1259 posts Posted on: 2005-07-12 13:25:13

I understand supply and demand. I think Autombile mag had a report that China tripled the number of miles of highway. BMW also sells lots of 7s there so I can see the price increasing over time.

What tees me off is that the price at the pump went up 10 cents in a day last week because the speculators panicked about hurricane Dennis and drive the price per barrel over $60. Of course, there was little to no interruption at Louisiana refinderies but we still have the higher price.

The real bummer is that this is one stealer we cannot DIY our way around!
