They tell us months in advance what we'll be paying at the pump. So it doesn't come AS such a shock.

Nothing quite like having the pump shut off at $50 bucks, before the Geo Metro's tank is full.

the sad thing is there are a lot of poor folks in this country who are sinking deeper into poverty while the rich get richer.

Stimulus package refund ($1200) = 9 tanks of diesel

Of course with inflation, maybe it will drop to 4 or 5 tanks....

Let her rip!


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 ..... $1 0.17 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.)


Ever wonder why 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!

Who gives a f*ck what Pepto Bismol or Snapple costs by the gallon?

I don't need to buy 30 gallons of Snapple a week.

I guess that Snapple conversion kit for your 4X4 diesel wasn't such a good idea after all.
