Gas milage cost difference between the 550i and the 535i ?
Does anyone know what is the cost (average) difference between the F-10 550i and the 535i in a one year period?
Is it a few thousand dollars difference? If it is not that much in a 1-year period, then it would be better just to get the 550i. |

$300 to $400 per year according to the stickers.

Yes. EPA stickers use a formula that blends highway and city mileage to approximate the average driver.

To give you a bit of perspective in real world driving I averaged a fraction under 23 mpgs in my 550 manual on a 1400 mile journey of mostly highway driving on the way home from my Performance Delivery in South Carolina. AC was on most of that time.
When I did a semi scientific mileage test with the cruise on I got 24 mpg's at 80 mph and 27.5 mpg's ay 70 mph. AC off on that test. Driving around in the suburbs in an aggressive fashion got me about 13-15 mpgs. The big thing is how you drive it. The mileage can be decent or pretty low. |

There is a $1,000.00 Gas Guzzler tax on the 550 GT. Perhaps not on the Sedan?

Interesting. Will the 550 Xdrive have a Gas Guzzler tax as it will have a lower MPG than the regular 550i sedan?
