Thanks goes out to fellow home stager Barb Jennings for this eye opening perspective:
| The Real Story of Gasoline |
This makes one think, and also puts things in perspective to other things we buy.
- 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
- 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 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 - If you don't pass this along to at least one person, Your muffler will fall off!!
Okay, your muffler won't really fall off...but, you might run out of toilet paper.................

There's one thing that does a body good... we're currently spending more per gallon for gas than we are for milk. :-)
