    From Quitchyerbichin:

    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

    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, or God forbid Pepto Bismol or Nyquil.

    Just a little humor to help ease the pain of your next trip to the pump...

    haha while you're at it, be grateful your car doesn't run on any of the following: gold, diamonds, 19th
    century curio cabinets, mummified pharoahs, or worst of all, holy grails. NOW THOSE WOULD BE
    EXPENSIVE CAR FUELS !

    mummified pharoahs

    lol... funny you should mention that! In the late 1800's and early 1900's mummies were so cheap and plentiful that people literally burned them as cheap "firewood". They were also ground up and made into butcher paper, which is why butcher paper is traditionally brown.

    No, I ain't making this up!

    in 100 years, we'll be saying the same about fossil fuels! "did you know that in the 1900's and early 2000's they used fossil fuels as a means to make the "engines" in their "automocars" go?!!! WEIRD EH?!!! and it was so cheap!"
