    it was up $1.25 in Orlando, but only 65 cents in South Carolina today. seemed like a bargain :cool:

    When is the last time you looked at historical gasoline prices, say starting 15 years ago? And then look at them corrected to today dollars (add about 50% for 2010 prices.)

    I buy less than 2 gallons per year. My BMW i3-REx runs the range extender engine every 60 days or so to keep the engine parts lubricated and check for any latent defects. I haven't changed the oil since I bought it about 3-4 years ago. One pair of rear drive tires, windshield wipers, car washes, and window washing fluid.
