          Yeah, me too. I still had some left and I put in nearly $52 into my '88 325iS. It's still better than my '65 Chrysler that got, oh about 6 MPG and had a 24 gallon tank. You do the math ;)

              I'm at ~$55 for my 90 325is. How are you guys doing it for like 45?

                I fill up at the 1/4 tank because I like my fuel pumps :)

                86 535i - 40 Bucks from 1/4 Tank
                89 325i - 35 or something like that
                99 M3 - 45 Bucks - Rarely put gas in because it is a track car

                  Probably running midgrade or regular because to be honest the e30 doesn't need premium. It really doesn't.

                  An 86 535i says premium and the motor is like 8.8 to 1.

                      $32 last night with my 318, was at just about a quarter tank. I love the mileage my little M10 gets though.

                        ~$60, but a tank lasts me about two weeks, even though I get like 18mpg.

                          I get to fill up either later today or tomorrow and it should be about 50 bucks for 93.

                                Usually costs me about $43 @3.80/gal (in Texas) on premium at halfway between empty and 1/4 tank. Usually takes close to 12 gallons. About 320 miles to the tank if I drive normal, and 280 if I drive hard. Got 360 miles to the tank on the road trip I just took... about 35mpg as I worked it out. While in Florida on the road trip prices were over $4.00/gal in some parts of the state.

                                On a tangent... does the 91 318is really need premium fuel only? I know it's higher compression, but didn't think it really needed premium.
