It just cost me $67.68 in gas just to go up and help Josh Move. That's
alot of freaking $$. I was thinking I would sell the BMW if things got too
tight, but if gas stays at or above $2 a gallon, I might just keep the
Bimmer and switch back to a Nissan or something..

Oh yeah, I kept track of this consumption:

First fillup: 13.78 gal, 159.6 miles = 11 mpg
58 miles city, average 22 mph; 101 Highway, average 75 mph

Second fillup: 6.71 gal, 101 miles = 15 mpg
101 miles Highway, average 65 mph

Third fillup: 13.5 gal, 200 miles = 14.81 mpg
16 miles city, average 18 mph; 184 highway, average 70 mph

The speed averages are from my GPS and the distance travelled on my ODO
agrees with my GPS.

What are the mileage numbers for the Colorado again? ;-)
