Gas-Pump

Try buying some of these things by the gallon. Think a gallon of gas is expensive? This 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
  • Ocean Spray, 16 oz. $1.25……….$10.00 per gallon
  • Brake Fluid, 12 oz. $3.15…………$33.60 per gallon
  • Vicks 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 here’s the real kicker…

Evian Water, 9 oz. $1.49……………………$21.19 per gallon – for water, and the buyer doesn’t even know the source.

So, next time your at the pump, be glad your car doesn’t run on water, Scope or whiteout or Pepto Bismol or Nyquil. Just a little ‘humor’ to help ease the pain of your next trip to the pump.
