All these examples do NOT imply that gasoline is cheap; it just illustrates how outrageous some prices are....

You will be really shocked by the last one!
(At least, I was...)

Compared with Gasoline......

Think a gallon of gas is expensive?

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.)

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!

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

crude is at 105.5 per barrel. more violence in the middle east (esp. libya) are f*ckin us in the ass.

s'all good though. less cars on the roads = less traffic jams.

chiaobaby · 03-09-2011, 09:36 AM

feel bad for the guys that traded up to a M3 or M5 8 and 10 cylinders suck down that 93 octane super fast.

Less people talking on the phone while driving = less traffic jam!

regardless of whatever the price of gas is...people will still pay the pumps...

Same goes with tolls...no matter how much goes up...we all still pay for it...

NYC_e92 · 03-09-2011, 09:57 AM

^ this is true. We all need to drive and go to work. If everyone took public transportation and walk or ride bicycle....... America Would Not be OBESE!!!

The diff is... you dont buy those things in bulk like that so you never think about it. Gas is used in bulk and frequently so we notice it more.

Slops · 03-09-2011, 10:03 AM

Good thing i work from home and my car only gets out of the garage when I want it to go out

D.B.S · 03-09-2011, 10:15 AM

it's already hitting $5+ in Cali and Texas... On monday I filled up my tank @ 3.95 in Latham, NY ($73 dollars to fill the beast)

That is awesome...
My round trip commute to and from work is about 8 miles, so I feel fortunate as well. A tank of gas lasts me about two weeks and that includes all other running around as well.

That is pretty good. 8 miles are like basically working from home - hahah. I tend to make up excuses to just drive somewhere!

NYC_e92 · 03-09-2011, 10:44 AM

My job is 2.1 miles and consist of 12 turns 7 stop signs and 2 lights. With going out for lunch and other errans. 1 tank lasts me 1.5 week. I think thats pretty bad. My average mpg is 13.5-15. The stop and go kills me. And now with the JB4 I lost like 1-2 mpg. I wish my car had wings lol.

KyLu II · 03-09-2011, 11:02 AM

I walk to my job lol Wat kills me is driving to college 2x everyday.. :/
