thirsty for octane

Ah, summer has come again and gas prices have never looked so appealing. With 93 around 3.20 a gallon, the E getting roughly 12mpg (no thanks to my driving) and gorgeous spring days to cruise around...all make for exciting times at the pump

But anyways, a few days ago I go to the gas station to fill up and to my surprise they only have regular?!!?! In fact many gas stations in the area only had regular!! what to do, what to do....

this morning I was filling up and the pump cut me off at $50 @ $3.20/gallon... I had to put my credit card in again to get the rest of my gas..... then someone came over and asked what kind of gas mileage I get.... I told him not very good and I call my car my fuel to tire smoke converter....

YOu guys don't know what you have. I jump in joy looking at my mpg these days. I get around 12 or 13 in all city driving. I was getting 8.5 to 8.8 in my 2006 M5 doing the same routes.
