  • You Think A Gallon Of Gas Is Expensive?

    This little list makes one think, and may put
    things in perspective:

    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 most buyers don’t even
    know the source.  But then again “EVIAN” spelled
    backwards is “Naïve.”

    So, the next time you’re at the pump, be glad your
    car doesn’t run on water, Scope, or Whiteout, or
    even worse, PEPTO BISMOL or NYQUIL!!!

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

  • LOL!  Great perspective!!!

  • The sad thing is that we can’t live without gasoline for the moment.  Thank God we can live without the other things.  While I’m doing some thanking, I want to thank you for the kind comments and good advice I always find when you comment on my blogs.  Infinite Blessings

  • Excellent list!  Another interesting one would be the price of gas in some other country — where it’s not so heavily subsidized .
