You Think A Gallon Of Gas Is Expensive? 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, or Whiteout, or Heaven forbid, PEPTO BISMOL or NYQUIL!!!! Just a little humor to help ease the pain of your next trip to the pump.
 
Good comparison! Not only that, if gasoline followed the trend of inflation form the 50's, it would be well over $5.00 a gallon right now.

I know the source. The Valle Blanche in the alps... I once took a leak there after climbing the Frendo Spur. Everbody does and says "I'm making Evian".
 
Ever read the source on an Ozarka bottle? It's from a "spring" near houston....
 
You think your petrol - sorry "gas" for you americans - is expensive??? In England our petrol is roughly $9.27 a gallon where I am which is just north of sunny London, sure elsewhere it can be a little bit cheaper but not massively... So next time you think your trip to the pump hurts your wallet, think of us poor Brits!
