Hi Travis,
Keep them wheels a rollin! I keep a log of my fuel expenditures for the
year by month, but don't always track the mileage. I did however just
average my last ten fillups; 18.0mpg. This is for my '96 318 CC 5-speed
with a 3:55 rear. Fuel here in northern VA generally varies from $1.09 to
$1.16 for 89 octane. My average monthly cost for fuel is $72-$73. I don't
remember exactly, but my monthly mileage is a little less that half of
yours. Somewhere around 1300mi./month.
