        I'm happy when gas prices drop here in NJ

        That's the best part of living in NJ. We may not have the great weather, or the super highways etc., but gas is cheap. We do have the highest insurance rates in the country thou, which makes up for the cheaper gas prices??

        I've noticed that prices have come down by 10 cents in the last two weeks. I haven't yet filled up my M5 since picking her up from the dealer.

        Cheers

        -Rocky

        California has to be the absolute worst state to live in for car enthusiasts. I swear, I honestly don't think any state in the country has such an anti-enthusiast agenda to the extent California does.

        I just have to LOL every time I read a post about price of gas and subjects on operating cost of their car in the US.
        Yesterday I stopped on the way to work and filled up my car. It took 61 liters or just a hair over 16 gallons. Sign at the tanksteller (gas station said super was €1.07 a liter). Went in and paid the €65.27 for their product. Now it doesn't end there, my US employer pays me dollars so the true cost was $78.64 at yesterday’s exchange rate.
        You don't even want to get me started about paying for all services and the cost of insurance.
        It's not the big V8 under the hood that impresses my neighbor (although it does) its the big wallet required to own and feed it.
