Here's another priceless one from the brother in law. This one just might change your mind about gas prices (maybe! LOL)
This has been around before, however, with gas prices as they are, most of us have forgotten these comparisons - at least I did.
But, if you need a reminder, drink up (and print it out)!!
So you think that Gasoline is Expensive???
All these examples do NOT imply that gasoline is cheap; it 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 - if that isn't sobering ...
and the buyers don't even know the source.
(Evian spelled backwards is Naive.)
Ever wonder why computer printers are so cheap? It is 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 gallon
(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!!!
And - If you don't pass this along to at least one person, your muffler will fall off!!

This was great. I still think gas is way to high though. If it gets any higher my husband is gonna have to sleep in his truck and just come home on days off. He might be stinky by the end of the week though.
