Gas prices affect shipping and material transport costs. Paying higher for gas means they can charge more for gas. Buy at the cheaper station and all prices come down. No one is questioning your wealth. I assume you must do quite well. None of the guys here seem to be in dire financial condition; at least I hope that's not the case.

Fracking, shale, OPEC policy, China slowing down, Europe economic downturn, are all out of the President's control and are the major driving influence with the current price of gas. No pun intended. Tougher CAFE standards non withstanding, there is little control the President has over gas prices today. True the Iran agreement is a factor the President has influenced (along with European leaders) to drive down the price of gas, as Iranian oil deliveries are set to resume shipment to Europe but this is not an energy policy of the President. The lack of a keystone pipeline does not reduce the price of gas. It also must be stated that: "It’s true that given the opportunity, Obama did not dismiss the notion outright that higher gasoline prices might be a good idea to create incentives for people to switch to alternative energy sources." - http://www.factcheck.org/2012/03/oba...soline-prices/ |

Again the price difference between a 320D and a 335D would probably cover me fuel wise for the next 20 years. So based upon that, if fuel was an issue I'd of been daft to buy it in first place. Do you get the logic there? If your outlays are compounding and fuel is a concern, again you've bought the wrong car. It should never be an issue... Not that I'd throw away money, if I find somewhere cheaper I'll go there but I won't actively search for it. Of course I'd always prefer things to be cheaper irrelevant of whether or not it has a bearing on me. Last edited by Firaxis; 02-08-2016 at 02:37 PM.. |

Let's just end the debate here. Points were all made with some validity from all sides. See Gator is back and on his political shtick and I certainly don't want to get back into that crap.
