All these examples do not imply that gasoline is cheap; it just illustrates how outrageous some prices are...
Compared with Gasoline...
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!
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!

Not sure what you are paying for gas Mr Mike but down under we are paying $2 + a liter what does that equate I shudder to think

...that''s still pretty cheap!
In Germany we pay around
1.50Euro/liter which is
~2.00 US$/liter or ~7.60 US$/gallon
~2.90 NZ$/liter
