GAS PRICE HUMOR TO REDUCE THE PAIN

Unread postby Bruce Caldwell » Thu Apr 22, 2004 12:47 am

Compared with Gasoline

DO YOU 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 8oz $3.99 $59.04 per gallon

And this is the REAL KICKER...
Evian water 9 oz $1.49..........$21.19 per gallon?!
$21.19 for WATER - and the buyer doesn’t even know the source.

So, the next time you're at the pump, be glad your car doesn't run on
water, Scope, or Whiteout, or, God forbid, Pepto Bismal or Nyquil.

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

yeah, but half those countries you could practically, if not actually, drive across the country on a single tank of gas...

So, doesn't mean they don't drive as much, you could drive across some states on half a tank of gas, doesn't mean people in those states are going to be ok paying $5 a gallon.

Pretty sure most European countries have better public transportation than most US cities. Also, it is a lot easier to drive to another state than it is to drive the same distance to another country.
