This is another nice summary from StrangeCosmos about the price of gasoline… This information helps to put 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 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 water, Scope, Whiteout, or — God forbid — Nyquil!
