A little perspective

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

After seeing this picture from Menlo Park, CA I've stopped bitching about the $2.00 a gallon I've been paying. Make me real glad though that we got the xB to almost offset the lack of mileage that our '87 Landcruiser doesn't get.

Almost...

I saw this and thought it put things in perspective.

Almost...


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 kicker:

Evian water 9 oz $1.49 = $21.19 per gallon!

Because I live in the land where gas prices gouge your eyes out, I wasn't shocked by the picture, but thank you for listing the other per gallon prices, it made me feel slightly better.
