Think a gallon of gas is expensive?

Compare the cost of gasoline with some of these common everyday items.   All these examples do NOT imply that gasoline is cheap; they just illustrate how outrageous some prices are.  You may be really shocked by the last one!

This makes one think, and also puts things into perspective.  Just a little humor to help ease the pain of your next trip to the pump…

• Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz $1.19 = $9.52 per gallon.
• Ocean Spray 16 oz $1.25 = $10.00 per gallon.
• Gatorade 20 oz $1.59 = $10.17 per gallon.
• Diet Snapple 16 oz $1.29 = $10.32 per gallon.
• Whiteout 7 oz $1.39 = 25.42 per gallon.
• Brake Fluid 12 oz $3.15 = $33.60 per gallon.
• Scope 1.5 oz $0.99 = $84.48 per gallon.
• Pepto Bismol 4 oz $3.85 = $123.20 per gallon.
• Vick’s Nyquil 6 oz $8.35 = $178.13 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.  (BTW — Evian spelled backwards is Naive.)

Ever wonder why printers are so cheap?

So they get you hooked on the ink.  Someone calculated the cost of the ink at (you won’t believe it, but it is true) $5,200 a gallon.  (Five thousand two hundred dollars!)

So, the next time you’re at the pump, be glad your car doesn’t run on water, Scope, Whiteout, Pepto Bismol, Nyquil or God forbid, printer ink!
