gas prices

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.


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 Bismal or Nyquil.

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

Ya know 1 thing (well maybe 2or3 things) really elude me. On the radio this morning they were talking about the price of a barrel of oil being down, I looked and gas was 1.89 I went to the dentest and when I came back out the price of gas was up to 2.07 now what's up with that. I'm starting to wonder if I should get me a corn still going to make some shine to cut the fuel with.

It wasn't that long ago that we were paying as much for diesel fuel as they were for Unleaded Premium gasoline.

It's still that bad here.

$2.09 for Diesel.

$1.99 for el cheapo unleaded
$2.09 midgrage
$2.19 Premium

Not complaining as much.
Was in Vegas for the weekend and saw.

$2.25 for Diesel.

$2.27 unleaded
$2.37 midgrade
$2.47 premium

Didn't fill up, figured it had to be cheaper, ended up paying $2.40 for Diesel in Mesquite.

Can't wait till the next big crush, Memorial day or the 4th of July.

My favorite station is 1.95 for gas, but has been at 1.65 for diesel for the last month or so. I can't figure it out, gas prices keep rising, but it stays the same. Every other station in town has diesel at 1.75-1.86 Maybe their trying to siphon out their winter blend????
