All these examples do NOT imply that gasoline is cheap; it just illustrates how outrageous some prices are....

You will be really shocked by the last one!
(At least, I was...)

Compared with Gasoline......
Think a gallon of gas is expensive?

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 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.)

Ever wonder why printers are so cheap?

So they have you hooked for the ink.
Someone calculated the cost of the ink at...............
( you won't believe it....but it is true........)
$5,200 a gal. ( five thousand two hundred dollars)

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

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

[AribaAriba]

problem is i can maintain myself hydrate with 3 liters of water but i consume atleast 10 liters of gas a day....o ya dont forget ur heater at home too that you needed to keep warm on winter and cold during summer. Oil is still is overpriced commodity that is overacted.

[Bulldog-53]

While I understand the point of the comparison, you aren't consuming 25-30 gallons of Pepto a week. It's all relative my man.

[rocky502]

I have heard the analogy before, but it doesn't make me feel any better when I am pumping $60 per tank in my mid-size sedan. What are we supposed to draw from this? That we are lucky are cars are not powered by printer ink?

[falconticket]

Bud Light = $8.30 /gallon

[pstaff1989]

[MB]

[k13]

I can get 24 bottles of water for $1.99.

[acarmelo1]

I can get 24 bottles of water for $1.99.

Is that Evian?

[k13]

Is that Evian?

Bunch of different brands, depending where the sale is.

Right now it's Nestle.

[Shafted69]

There's plenty of supply and too many greedy speculators. Gas them all.

[frognose20]

[EmpireMaker]

Are you sure you meant to type $1.99 for 24 bottles? I find that very hard to believe unless your like me and fill up your own personal water bottles with tap water...

[VegasPlayer]

Live 11 miles from work. Costs me $30 a week for gas.

[Waterstpub87]

If you don't feel like watching the video, in short, You cannot get rid of speculators without completely destroying commodity markets. If that happens, enjoy much more expensive gasoline. You have to take the good with the bad. Occasionally speculators will marginally push prices up, but to not allow free trading will grind the market to a halt.

[MEATHEAD]

I won't bitch about gas prices unless it hits 5 bucks a gallon.
