the price of gas......... .. a relative thing

All these examples do NOT imply that gasoline is cheap; it just illustrates
how outrageous some prices are. (You will probably be shocked by the last
one ..)

Think a gallon of gas is expensive?

This makes one think, and also puts things into 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 a REAL KICKER:
Evian water, 9 oz, $1.49 ... $21.19 per gallon!
That's $21.19 for a gallon of WATER!!
and buyers don't even know the source
(Evian spelled backwards is Naive.)
LAST, (but not least):
Ever wonder why computer printers are so cheap?
So they can rip you off for the ink refill cartridges!! Someone calculated
the cost of a gallon of ink in all those refills at ... $5,200 a gallon ...
$5,200 A GALLON!!!
So, the next time you're at a fuel pump, be glad your car doesn't run on
water, Scope, Whiteout, Pepto Bismol, Nyquil or, (God forbid), Printer
Ink!!!!!
