He didn't mind giving away millions of dollars for charity but he did mind paying for parking space when there was free parking space available.

I don't think it really matters. All that matters is what car you have.

C55AMG W203; 330i E90
A W203 52 litre tank will give the C55 a safe 300km run in a mixed drving styles and traffic condition. I fee l that bad traffic jam kills more fuel even than if you frequently stay on 3rd gear in high revs. Guess C32 will waste less fuel in bad jam but equally bad if drive rough and heavy on pedal.
If I count my annual milege (15000km) , the average fuel cost per month is not that bad at all.

How did this post go from gas mileage to Bill Gates and pus....?
Gees, what a combination - gasoline, Bill Gates and a ........
On a serious note - unplugging C32 kompressor adds 2-3 mpg. I am still researching that one.

Of course not... I'm a car enthusiast and love well built sports sedans because I love to drive as evidenced by most of my posts. I'm talking about the people who know nothing about cars and buy fancy cars just to impress their neighbors..

so bill gates called up porsche to discuss importing 3 959's and porsche said "you have to test it and crash it first. i hope you're not planning on crashing one of these". so bill gates arranged for him and a team of software engineers to go to porsche and write a crash simulation.
