So why do they want me to spend big $$ on a new POS car that gets 33mpg??

Had this car over 10 years now, and love it more each year...
I keep telling myself that also, I have been averaging 17.5 mpg and that is city driving. I know its nothing earth shattering but I thought it was pretty good for a 95 540i. I like to drive and i'm its not like i'm keeping my foot out of it even in city traffic you can zip around some. Man I love this car.
