And that tasty 93 octane fuel too

In Texas right now and it cost about $55 to put in about 19 gallons. Would've cost us over $80 back at home in California plus crappy 91 instead of 93.

Just filled up for $69.68 in Pompano Beach, FL. The cost is fine, but what I didn't plan for was the shorter range compared to my Escalade ESV. That had a 31 gallon tank. Fuel economy is a tad better in the 50i compared to the Caddy, but I could get 450 miles out of a tank

where I live it's between $60-65 (2.90-3.15 a gallon) so either way I don't care. I usually spent $300 a month on fuel which is nothing for a luxury vehicle

That's way more annoying to me than paying $72.65 for a tank of gas. The reason for the wait times were Model 3's; there were four Model 3's at one location and five at the other out of eight bays. With more and more Model 3's on the road, I don't see that getting any better.

Wow, I never actually thought/realized that about supercharging, especially cause with gas if it gets busy, the longest a car may be there is 3-5 minutes, but with electric I guess to charge it could be anywhere from 20 minutes - 1+ hours per car... very interesting.

I bet it will just get worse with the new Model Y's coming out eventually.

Sounds like Cali when I lived there back between 2009-2011

I kind of feel like I'm cheating when I fill up. I spend a decent amount on groceries at Harris Teeter each month. For every $100 I spend, I get $0.10 off per gallon that can be redeemed at HT gas stations or any BP stations.

93 octane is our typical premium fuel here in Charlotte. Going price yesterday was $3.19/gallon at my BP. $1000 spent on groceries (cumulatively over a few weeks) gave me $1.00/gallon discount on 18.2 gallons.

Given that HT is owned by Kroger now, interested to know if anyone else gets this kind of rebate in their local MSAs.

How much are you paying? I'm in the Wash, DC suburbs.

Also DC suburbs, we just paid $70, attribute that to the massive tank. Larger than our Odyssey's tank!

Download the GetUpside app, if you're not using it already you can use my referral code: PATRICK5974 Tons of local stations and you can get anywhere from 5 to 16 cents (that I currently see) per gallon cash back. I know it's not much, but at least it's something!

I mean c'mon guys, do a few $'s a month really matter on a high-end luxury vehicle? If it does, then perhaps ownership of said vehicle should be reconsidered

EJELITE · 04-26-2019, 02:37 PM

$85USD for 16gal of 91 ($115CAD for 60 litres) to fill up my X3 loaner in Vancouver a couple weeks ago. Will be around $110USD to fill the X5 over there when I get it back

I have to agree.

I seriously meant that in a nice way. I'm glad someone agrees

Wife just filled up yesterday, took right around 20 gallons and it was $87! $%#@'in California!

When we got the X5 in November the fill-ups were $55.

Are you sure that was 91??

Gas prices are pretty dumb these days. I miss $1 something per gallon, and less traffic.
Now, $4 something per gallon, and more traffic.

There some hidden additional fee which is being investigated per CA's governor

93 octane wheeeee

mnx5er · 04-27-2019, 03:06 PM

I'm getting a little over 23 MPG commuting and doing a little city driving. I can't complain at all about that. Costco here is $2.89 a gallon, that is still cheap. It is a 73K SUV, what else would you expect?
