Think a gallon of gasoline is expensive?
This makes one think, and puts things in perspective.





Diet Snapple...16oz. $1.29..............$10.32 a gallon

Lipton Ice Tea...16oz. $1.19............$9.52 a gallon

Gatorade...20oz. $1.59....................$10.17 a gallon

Ocean Spray...16oz. $1.25..............$10.00 a gallon

Brake Fluid...12oz. $3.15.................$33.60 a gallon

Vick's Nyquil...6oz. $8.35.................$178.13 a gallon

Peptol Bismol...4oz. $3.85...............$123.20 a gallon

Whiteout...7oz. $1.39.......................$25.42 a gallon

Scope...1.5oz. $0.99........................$84.48 a gallon





And this is the real kicker



EVIAN water...9oz. $1.49..................$21.19 a gallon. $21.19 a gallon for WATER- and the buyers don't even know the source.



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

I think they need to tax bottles of water to fix the money crunch this country is in.......

interesting factoids...

Evian water is shit.

Pellegrino is where it is at. For a gallon, my trusty windows calculator says that it is $10.88 dollars a gallon.

I believe that I have consumed well over 50 gallons of Pellegrino, bringing my grand total to at least $544.26. Isn't that special.

Evian is a french water by origin
The spring is located the French Alps

the fact that it is so expensive is merely because it gets imported and marketed as a superior water, a luxury water if you will...

In europe Evian isn't all that big actually ...

I think I should be saving my money and drinking more gasoline according to those numbers...

A gallon of Nyquil...that could get interesting.

If you go to any farm supply store they sell 1 gal. jugs of Peptol Bismol for $10. Marketed for livestock but made by the same company on the same machine. They just know that people will pay more for it in a small bottle.

Of course if you need a gal. of it you might have a more serious problem than money :-/

Where on earth do you buy your water?! That is outrageous. It's 99 cents for 20 oz at my eckerd..

You can't simply multiply smaller portions to reach a gallon due to quantity discounts. A 64 oz of Gatorade costs $2.99 to total $5.98/gallon not the $10.17 that was listed. By that logic,

Milk 16oz.........$.75 $6.00 per gallon

C'mon guys...you're putting way too much thought into this. It's a joke. It's in humor.

So now do you think it's any coincidence that Evian is "naïve" spelled backwards???

steveincolumbus

Peptol Bismol...4oz. $3.85...............$123.20 a gallon

Whiteout...7oz. $1.39.......................$25.42 a gallon

who has ever bought a container of whiteout that was larger than a bottle of Peptol Bismol............
the bottle of BIC Whiteout on my desk is 0.7 oz. so @ $1.39 per bottle that would be $254.17 thus being the most expencive.....

tim2shady

this is supposed to be funny, gas is too expensive regardless of the comparisons...too bad cars to run on farts, then I'd be much more happy

I think cars should run on blood. Think about it...we all have it....it's renewable....and it would only take about 50 people to fill the tank of your Hummer.

Man, i pay $0.97 for a gallon of bottled water at Walmart. Who needs that designer stuff, water is water. And if a faucet is handy, i refill the empty gallon jug at truckstops for FREE.

I thought that one of the biggest fuel problems in the US was that you pay too little for petrol. You do, as I understand, consume a lot more per fuel capita than the rest of the world.

How much do you pay, really, per litre? How does it compare to Australia, for example, which also has issues with long-distance transportation? How much is your government subsidising your 'gas' consumption? Do you have any reason to complain?

If anyone has some real figures, I'd be grateful as I'm not up to date.

iccky

Yeah I think printer ink is, by weight or volume, the most valuable substance you can buy retail on earth. At least I heard that somewhere... which means theres a fairly good chance I'm wrong...
