To put things in perspective, Compared with Gasoline.... ..
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 here 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 ( By The Way..... Evian spelled backwards is Naive)
AND you may be shocked by this last one!
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 Spring Water, Scope, or Whiteout, Pepto Bismol, Nyquil or God forbid, Printer Ink!
Just a little humor to help ease the pain of your next trip to the pump...
And yes, All these examples do NOT imply that gasoline is cheap; it just illustrates how outrageous some prices are....
- If you don't share this along with at least one person,
your muffler will fall off!!
Okay, your muffler may not really fall off...but, you will run out of toilet paper

Oil / Gas Prices - Why are they going up! Who's Profiting!
So I am totally confused by the upwardly mobile Gas ( Petrol - if you are in Europe or in Des) prices. As far as I am concerned, the only logical reason the prices are going above $125/barrel is because some companies, brokers and handful of speculators want to make as much money as possible!
Ah, you think its because of high energy demands from emerging/fast growing countries like China! Think again - so you are saying their demand is actually growing exponentially every day....!!!!
I can understand if the demand was jumping astronomically every year or 9 months but to say that its doing that on a daily basis sounds insane and before someone gives me crap about Oil futuress trading etc. , that still is crap - Give me a real reason and I'll agree.
Funniest thing is that couple of months back, when everyone (in stock market) was distracted due to rapidly plunging stock markets - for almost four days, there was no change in oil price, as a matter of fact, the prices actually went down a bit. So if I were to take this with teh same crappy argument that stock players will have us believe (demand from China & other countries), we'll have to presume that for those four days, all construction, transportation, travel was completely at a standstill in those countries and hence no price rise.
Pulleeeze!
I know general public is supposed to be stupid or busy earning a living or distracted and/or all of that but still give us a break.
Just own up to the fact that right now is perhaps the best time for making money if you are an Oil company or a stock market player and that prices will keep on going up till the doomsday ( which at this rate, is not too far)
