I feel the pain you guys are going thru. On the one hand I'm really fortunate to have a really good network of public transport so I don't have to refill that often. I spend about $120 per tank on the 7er so I drive it merely on the wknds now. For now even driving the 528i is a luxury so when I really need to drive I just take the 328i. But Dwight is right. The commute you guys take is a big penalty off your paychecks. Not to mention the god forsaken taxes you pay also. I just don't think these prices are gonna come down any time soon because analysts say even with adjusted inflation these prices are relatively cheap. So there you have it. I'm just as worried as all of you. Hope there is light at the end of the tunnel.
