Gas Prices! too high.. Just think on this one..!
 
Do you think Gas Prices are too high???

You may Think A Gallon Of Gas Is Expensive but perhaps it is not as bad as one may think?

I just received this in a email and it sure makes one think, and puts things in perspective.



Pepsi/Coke 20 oz $1.09 $6.54 per gallon

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 for $1.49 $21.19 per gallon



$21.19 FOR WATER! ....and the buyers don't even know the source.



So, the next time you're at the pump, be glad your car doesn't run on

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...

LOL! Ain't that the truth! I was just telling someone yesterday "people pay more than that for bottled water!" I have paid $3.00 for a bottle of water (20 oz.) at some car events https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

I've seen lists like that before. The problem is...... I can chose not to buy any of that other stuff (except for maybe brake fluid once every couple of years), but I can't avoid the gas pump.

A fill up cost me $70 this week..... ouch!

Sigh.

Quit your damn whining! You guys don't know how good you've got it. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/Charley.gif

Just filled the tank in my Mercedes. 60.03 liters cost me £68.03, that's 17.97 gallons for $111.28 = $6.19/gallon. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif

COPO gas costs about $10-$12 a gallon. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif


Oh, yeah and Evian is only $3.67/gallon here if you buy the 1.5L bottle (50 fl oz). https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

On a threat adjusted basis, its still too expensive.
