Being on a fixed income, fuel prices have really put a damper on my travels.

But a friend of mine sent me an E-mail that stated things could be worst.

Hard not to complain about the price of gasoline, but just read this.



All these
examples do NOT imply that gasoline is cheap;
they just illustrates
how outrageous some prices are....
You will be really shocked by
the last one!!!!
(At least, I was...)


Compared with Gasoline......


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 1.5 oz $0.99 .$84.48 per gallon

And
this is the REAL KICKER...



Evian water 9 oz $1.49..........$21.19 per gallon!

$21.19 for WATER and the buyers don't even know the
source.
(Evian spelled back-wards is Naive.)

Ever wonder why computer printers are so cheap?
So they have you hooked for the ink.
Someone calculated the cost of the ink
at................
you won't believe it...................

but it is true.........................
$5,200 a gal..
(five thousand two hundred dollars)


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



I guess the Gas guy's are not as bad as they seem. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />
