What's the "deep south" have to do with anything? Tupelo is far from the deep south, we have the highest fuel prices in the entire state around here.
I'm paying $3.50 a gallon for 93 ethanol free, not too far off as long as I am local, but I am always in a large city so I am paying those premiums also.
I drive my X5 50i and the Z4 35is very spirited, I am lucky to get 12mpg in the Z4 and I get about 15mpg out of the X5, I went through the factory set of tires ($1500) on the X5 in 20k miles.
Trust me, I put my money where my mouth is. I am able and willing to drive 2 high-performance BMW's without complaining about the true cost of ownership.
Again, if you can't afford it then don't buy it. You know what your local costs are before you buy and a little research will show what annual costs are.
