The price of Gas versus Printer Ink


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!
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 ..... $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.)
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!

Re: The Price of Gas
I honestly use about as much vaseline and scope at work (sounds like a porn job lol). And while they are different drinks, I drink more than that of say Coke a day. And the printer ink....yeah....we go through that pretty fucking fast too.

see thats why our gas is so high is that people think that 30 mpg is "great" 30 should be average. while i admittedly only get like 15-18 mpg in my 6 cylinder car which is horrible and you get 30 and im sure youve got a truck theres no reason why the average mpg of newer cars to be 30+ and 40- 50 mpg to be great. we need a perception change. and i need a new car lol

It will probably have to be de-ionized water which cost $29.95 a gallon. Of course you can buy the 5 gallon container for $99.50. Of course it will probably be a lot more at the pump after they add federal and State taxes for Highway maintenance.

not a truck, a mercedes benz. I agree, new cars should be getting 50 MPG or better. Of course keeping the mpg's low keeps the gas pumps flowing.

Re: The Price of Gas
My 2005 Dodge Magnum gets 23 Combined - nice ride, great Stereo, good power, enjoyable overall

My 2004 Harley Gets 42 combined - Awesome Ride, but wet often and cold at 5 AM (now) , no Stereo, Excellent Power.

My 67 Camaro gets 14 City, 21 Hwy -- Crappy ride (Stiff), Totally Awesome Power, Loud V8 Stereo - Unbelievable power!!!!

Each has a benefit, and I am paying about 3.40 Premium.

Why am I saying this - Because I can!

Re: The Price of Gas
hah here's something crazy....here in the barrio, I saw diesel get up to ~4.07 a gallon....just last week in the valley and west LA I saw it for around 4.59. Premium here goes for 3.70, in the nicer side of town, 3.99

I figure, fuck it. I have a huge truck, it takes 80+ a week to get around, but it sure beats riding public transportation with niggers and get jacked for my glasses, jewelry, ipod, and cash (~1K lol)
