People will pay $1 for 20 oz of water in a bottle, then whine about $2 for 64 oz of refined gasoline.

Paying $1.00 for a bottle of water is a choice. I sometimes pay more for exotic water.
Gas is different. It's like the pusher after you are hooked he keeps raising the price because you can't live without it.
You can also get cheaper water by buying in bulk like 24 packs.
Not so with gas. The more we buy the higher the price.

That's exactly what I was going to write, but in NYC, 20 to 24 oz of Spring Water (or even Aquafina or Desani, which is nothing but "purified" tap/municipal water) costs between $1.50 and $2.00 a bottle. People need to take this into perspective.
