High Gasoline Prices?

The prices of gasoline are continuing to rise and this is truely frustrating! I came across this interesting article that put things in a different light for me, though. Thought I would share.

Diet Snapple: 16 oz. jar cost $1.29=$10.32 per gallon

Lipton Ice Tea: 16 oz. cost $1.19=$9.52 per gallon

Gatorade: 20 oz. cost $1.59=$10.17 per gallon

Ocean Spray: 16 oz. cost $1.25=$10.00 per gallon

Brake Fluid: 12 oz. cost $3.15=$33.60 per gallon

Vick's Nyquil: 6 oz. cost $8.35=$178.13 per gallon

Pepto Bismol: 4 oz. cost $3.85=$123.20 per gallon

whiteout: 7 oz. cost $1.39=$25.42 per gallon

Scope: 1.5 oz. cost $.99=$84.48 per gallon

and this is the real kicker!

Evian water: 9 oz. $1.49=$21.19 per gallon?!

$21.19 per gallon for WATER--and the buyers don't even know the source.

So the next time we are at the pump, we should be thankful that out vehicles don't run on water, scope, or whiteout or heaven forbid, pepto bismal or nyquil.

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

P.S. Spell Evian backwards. (thought that was interesting)

My jet pack runs on Nyquil. It's extremely costly to operate, but I get like 85 miles to a gallon. Perhaps you should look into purchasing a personal jet pack?
