You Think GAS is Expensive?

[CCI]

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 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 Bismol or Nyquil.

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

You're missing the big one. HP INk Jet ink

"If you were to fill up the tank of your car with Hewlett-Packard or Lexmark ink, it would cost $100,000," said Gerald Chamales, chairman of Rhinotek Computer Products, a Carson (Los Angeles County) manufacturer of ink and toner cartridges that are compatible with name-brand printers. "If you filled an Olympic-size swimming pool with ink from HP or Lexmark inkjet cartridges, it would cost $5.9 billion with a B."

Ink Inc. / Just about everybody has a printer these days, and just about everybody needs ink, making it a big business for some and a huge expense for home and office computer users

That gallon of gas will only last about 20 minutes on the highway. How long will a gallon of ink, nyquil, whiteout, etc... last?

Exactly right but if your car ran on Nyquil I presume that it would only last that long as well.

If my car took a gallon of nyquil. It would pass the fuck out in 0.5 seconds and never wake up.

Of course it's expensive, what isn't nowadays. Hey! just how rich are you?

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

I think the more pressing issue here is the fact that you started with diet Snapple....... That's not gay or anything........... (not that there is anything wrong with that).

average daily water use per household is 69.3 gallons per day.
per gallon based on a $40 bill is $0.02 per gallon (rounded up).

even if you assume 60 bucks a month its still only 3 cents a gallon. 80 bucks is 4 cents and so on.

its odd, i always thought evian spelled backwards was "idiot"?

one thing to note in all of this is the cost of transportation of said items. of which the price of fuel certainly plays a part. for example, the price of fuel is now more than ~4% of my garbage bill.

the average american consumes 14 gallons of bottled water per year.

Volume of Bottled Water Consumption

the average american uses 500 gallons of gas per year.

energy efficiency

cost of bottled water per month (based on cost of evian)- $24.72
cost of gas per month (based on $3.90)- $162.50

just something else to think about.
