Gas prices

[Midnyte_Ragebringer]

Think a gallon of gas is expensive?


This makes one think, and also puts things in perspective.

Diet Snapple 16 oz $1.29 ........ $10.32 per gallon




Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz $1.19 ...........$9.52 per gallon




Gatorade 20 oz $1.59 .. $10.17 per gallon





Ocean Spray 16 oz $1.25 . $10.00 per gallon





Brake Fluid 12 oz $3.15 . $33.60 per gallon



Vick's Nyquil 6 oz $8.35 . $178.13 per gallon





Pepto Bismol [Unable to display image]4 oz $3.85 ..... $123.20 per gallon





Whiteout 7 oz $1.39 ... . $25.42 per gallon





Scope 1.5 oz $0.99 .$84.48 per gallon





And this is the REAL KICKER...

Evian water 9 oz $1.49..........$21.19 per gallon?! $21.19 for WATER - and the buyers don't even know the source. (Evian spelled backwards is Naive.)




So, the next time you're at the pump, be glad your car doesn't run on water, Scope, or Whiteout, or God forbid Pepto Bismal or Nyquil.






Just a little humor to help ease the pain of your next trip to the pump...

And - If you don't pass this along to at least one person, your nose will fall off.

Got this from a buddy. Interesting.

You are paying for the bottling of the fluid in each of those examples. The actual drinks themselves cost next to nothing. If you purchased gas in bottles, you'd be paying a fortune per gallon for that as well.

Because cars that run on water *MUST* use bottled.

This is ridiculous and has ruined my day.

OMG WHAT TRICKERY IS THIS??!


Not really interesting as it's comparing apples to doughnuts.

yeah my water bill each month at my house is $25 for like what 7,000 gallons of water?
hell, maybe 10,000 gallons, i have no idea how much i use, i just konw it is thousands of gallons and it is never less than $20, and never more than $25.

since it costs $22 to put 12 gallons of gas in my toyota, i'm saying water is a lot cheaper =)

Hey, be thankful your cars don't run on semen. I leave the conversion of $25-per-deposit into gallons as an exercise for the reader.

[Skogen]

thank god our entire world economy doesn't revolve around cheap & plentiful Snapple.

The reason why places like Sam's Club, Price Club, BJ's, et al. are so popular is because stuff is cheaper when sold in bulk. Without taking that into account, those comparisons are flawed.
