Filling up is getting out of hand!
Stopped for gas after work tonight and was shocked by the cost these days. Luckily these V6's are truly easy on the gas guzzling. Most of my driving is highway.

For those that have V6's, what kind of mileage are you getting?

What's the most it has cost you to fill up?

Those of you with the extra 2 cylinders and HP can chime in too.

About 98% of my driving is highway and I'm getting 22mpg. Cost me $53 to fill up my last tank. A tank is lasting me almost 2 weeks.

the best I've ever seen on the 320 was 25.3 mpg hwy. The strange thing is the best I've ever seen on the 55 wasnt that much different for some reason, 24.1 hwy

Come live overseas and you will cry filling up your tank. It costs me abt 90$ to fill up and im at the pump every 5 days if i take it easy, when i first got the car i was there every 3 days. You can do the math and you got it easy in the USA...

That's crazy man. We really do have it much better than a lot of places around the world. If gas got to the prices you are paying here... I hate to even think.

$1.49 per litre? Isn't that around ...... $6 per gallon? That's horrible. I'll pay $3.50/gallon all day.
