THE HIGH PRICE OF GASOLINE

So, you think a gallon of gasoline is expensive?
And I KNOW a LOT of you guys on here complain about it.
Well, here are a few things that Autoweek brought attention to compare.
This is what it costs to buy a gallon of...

Diet Snapple 16 oz for $1.29 equals $10.32 per gallon

Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz for $1.19 equals $ 9.52 per gallon

Gatorade 20 oz for $1.59 equals $ 10.17 per gallon

Ocean Spray 16 oz for $1.25 equals $ 10.00 per gallon

Quart of milk 16 oz for $1.59 equals $ 6.32 per gallon

STP Brake Fluid 12 oz for $3.15 equals $ 33.60 per gallon

Vick's Nyquil 6 oz for $8.35 equals $ 178.13 per gallon

Pepto Bismol 4 oz for $3.85 equals $123.20 per gallon

Whiteout 7oz for $1.39 equals $254.17 per gallon

Scope 1.5oz for $0.99 equals $ 84.84 per gallon

And this is the REAL KICKER......

Evian water 9 oz for $1.49 equals $ 21.19 per gallon... $21.19 FOR
WATER!!

You get the idea?? So next time you're at the gas pump, be glad your
vehicle does NOT run on Vick's Nyquil!!!

haha those are all interesting

however, it's obvious that [most] consumers use much more gasoline than, say, nyquil or gatorade.

that's the main arguement i had with the article as well....

no matter what people say, gas is too damn expensive. i moved to california (college) and holly crap it's unbelievable there. i'm in LA, maybe that's why. but 2.37 for regular?? c'mon..

im in oregon for the break and it's 1.69 here. i remmeber when i thought that was bad. now im so happy that it's that cheap!!

u r lucky. i live in romania, and regular costs 4.70 per gallon. i pay only 3.30 for diesel. i don't drive it coz i like the sound :)

i love diesels, i really want that 3.9 twin turbo v8 with it's 400+ foot pounds of torque that came in the 740d in europe, that bolted to a 6 speed in my e34 and id be happy as a pig in ****


i don't drive it coz i like the sound :)
