Remember when you are filling up your gas tank this summer at 3 bucks a gallon or more that the cheap commie junk you buy at Wal Mart is responsible.

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

Compare 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.)

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.

I don't use 25 gallons of whiteout each week either.

Not a very good anology and does not help your argument.

You are forgetting one little detail sir.

I don't have to buy any of the products you listed in your post. They can make the price of Diet Snapple one hundred dollars a bottle for all I care.

But...

I HAVE to buy gas, no matter how expensive it gets!

NO CHOICE! Get It? And that hurts!

All the dollars that I and millions of other Americans pump into the gas tank leave less money for the things you listed and the economy in turn will suffer if these prices continue to rise!
