I drive an 07 BMW 335i Coupe six speed,  inline 6 cylinder 300 or 350 BHP (can't remember which) with twin turbos, one Turbo does 3 cylinders, Don't know the compression ratio!

Nice car! You have 300 hp and 300 ftpounds of torque FYI. Also you have about a 10.2 to 1 compression ratio, which is pretty high, so your car is one of the few that actually benefits from high octane.
The journey is the destination.

In western NY we generally have the highest gas prices in the continental USofA. Only places regularly higher are Alaska and Hawaii.
Needless to say I visit the reservation every other fill up, tax free.

Avg here $2.58 from: http://www.buffalogasprices.com/
Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

It's as low as $1.85 around the metro areas here. Out in the sticks where I live it's still $2.20. Did I mention there is a refinery here? It's cheaper to buy gas 100 miles away from the plant than it is next door to it.

Wow, we pay by the liter over here, so that makes premium $6.32 per gallon, and $6.10 for regular and that's at the decreased prices of today. Here I was thinking phew back to $90.00 a fill except for when I want to get a bit more go out of the beasty and use premium which is about $95.00 a tank. At the peak of the price increase I was up to $130.00 per fill.

....and it cost me 39 dollars. :) I could get used to gas being $1.84/gal, just as long as we don't lose sight of the overall energy problem. So how's your gas? Is it bad?
Well, it's been announced that we AREN'T going to do any more offshore drilling...no Alaska, new coal-fired power plants will be a regulatory impossibility....as soon as world economies get back in gear (year or 2, likely) we will be exactly where we were last July. (Unless one thinks 'green' technology is ready to run the United States)

there you go with the negative vibes again, think positive, think of windmill farms everywhere, acres of solar cells, all paid for by the rich people.

Yeah but you can drive from one to the other end of your counrty on 1 tank full..lol.  I have to drive an hour just to get to a city of any size.  And there is NO PUBLIC transportation where I live.  There arn't even any taxis...I was like 13-14 before I ever saw a taxi for the first time other than TV.

I pay that in Australia. Try doing my country on one tank.

Amen, Tongs.

When you yanks start paying $6 a gallon, feel free to complain.

Actually.... no, don't, I pay over $6 a gallon to run my car and I never complain about fuel.

$1.68 a gallon this morning, QT Bixby, Ok.

It's nice to have pocket change fill your car again.
