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 backwards is Naive.)
So, the next time you're at the pump, be glad your car doesn't run on water, Scope, or Whiteout, Pepto Bismal or Nyquil.
Just a little humor to help ease the pain of your next trip to the pump...
Heard rumor that gas prices could go through the roof soon, as in 80 bucks a barrel. Glad I get over 30mpg and the next car will be an accord hybrid.

When that happens I'm going to point to every hummer or giant SUV and give them the Nelson "Ha Ha!"

Yes, they could, but worse the price at the pumps is set to jump about $0.25 nationwide this week. Hint: Fill up your car now if you can.
