I was shocked you bother to save money on gas and get points but in a way I'm not.
I've met so many people who are good with money who don't like throwing it way.
I wouldn't say I'm good with money lol. For whatever reason gas is something that I'm cheap about (within reason, I use top tier gas etc) and have been ever since the price spikes in 2008. I have a good financial team, but I love spending money.

It takes no effort, or I wouldn't do it lol. The system links my Giant points to the credit card I use to pay for gas, and the points are automatically earned and automatically redeemed. If you spend $500 on groceries you get .50c off a gallon and when you go to use your CC it comes up and tells you how many points you have and you click yes to use them.
and you gush over v12's endlessly, so why don't you get one?
that 760 is very nice i'm sure, but a ton of money to own, run, maintain. an i7 is faster i'm sure, quieter, smoother, and costs FAR less to own, run, maintain.
the v12 is obsolete.
The i7 is actually not.....the fastest i7 is the gas version and it's behind the 12 especially when past 60mph.

I think you mean behind the 8. The current 7-series doesn’t have a V12.

My issue with the i7 is still range. Just not quite sure I’m ready to transition yet
It drives wonderfully that’s for sure. BMW really nailed it from a dynamics and luxury perspective. The styling has only gotten uglier in my eyes though. Come facelift time when the i7 gets upgraded batteries and hopefully a redone fascia you might have an all around winner.

Well, you can also save gas money and get better mileage by combining trips so that the engine is not always heating up/cooling down, driving less aggressively, being easier on the gas pedal, and keeping unnecessary weight out of the vehicle.

I know it doesn't have a 12, it's not on the same level anymore
