1990 535 im w/ 3.91 LS diff.

My long term MPG is 19.6 per the OBC. With gas prices so high I've been driving like my grandma, or "pussy" as Anthony likes to call it (the driving style that is, not my grandma). So if this is "driving like a pussy," I guess my normal style of driving is best termed "driving like a dick."

After a few days my average is 23 MPG, for an increase of 17% over the long term average from the past few months. If it costs 18 x $2.5 = $45 to fill up a tank, I save $7.80 a fill up. If I fill up every two weeks, that's about $0.55 a day, or a little over a quarter on each way to/from work.

So the question is, do I pay an extra quarter for the fun experience of really enjoying my 535, or do I save the money and drive like I was in a Volvo 240 DL.

For that money... I think I prefer being a dick! Driving a hotrod E34 like a hotrod E34 is worth it. I'll just skip Starbucks and come out even.
