Think Gas is Expensive?
Think a gallon of gas is expensive? This will make you 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?
So, the next time you're at the pump, be glad your car doesn't run on
water,
Scope, or Whiteout, or God forbid Pepto Bismol or Nyquil.
Just a little humor to help ease the pain of your next trip to the pump.

when its put like this gas isnt so very expensive is it....lol
the only trouble is we use gas alot faster than nyquil or pepto bismo so we seem like were spending our money on it faster.

holey cow dude.....
and well the problem with trading my TA in for a 6 cylinder is, that i'm addicted to the 350 and the 5 speed, i walnt have any balls if i go 6 cylinder, so i'm just gunna have to suffer until i go broke and can't afford it anymore...( i know i just have to learn the hard way).

yes Storm you will suffer with a 350 engine.....only trouble is that gas is not going to go down any time soon....I think america is finally catching up to the rest of the world as far as gas prices go....the emperial gallon is over 5 dollars to the gallon which is bristish and its slightly different to the US gallon.
