You Think A Gallon Of Gas (or nitro) Is Expensive?
This made me think, and put 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 for $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 BISMOL or NYQUIL! Just a little humor to help ease the pain of your next trip to the pump.

You have way to much time on your hands! But it is real interesting when you look at it like that though, thanks for doing the math.

A while back I got one of those emails with a list like this and it had printer cartridge ink on it................$3500 per gal. If a $30 cart has about 1 oz of ink that would work out just about right. No wonder HP "gives" the printer "free" with a computer purchase.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

DON'T READ THIS UNCLE BOB!!!
My 108 octane E-90 costs about $2.90 a gallon to brew up...Access to an Ethanol plant and a couple professors working the program at SDSU really helps!!!!!
Just more "warm fuzzies" for me, I guess.....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Good News
I guess we should all feel good that there have been no stories of folks siphoning gas (like back in the 70's!).
But I am not sure if that is because folks are more ethical today or the X-Y Geners are just lazier and richer!

I saw a news story last night that rural storage tanks, typically farmers, are having thousands of gallons of diesel stolen. The sheriff's deputy interviewed speculated it was over the road truckers, but he had no proof.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon

There was a story out here a couple weeks ago about someone with an enclosed trailer loaded with storage tanks and a pump. They would pull up in a gas station, drop a hose into the stations storage tanks and pump away until their tanks were full.Our race team page

Hey Bob..don't you remember the guy in Gig area and in Tacoma that was taking gas from closed stations....filling up his 55 gal. drums in back of a pickup,,,,finally caught him. Also, I'd watch my lic. plates.if I were after cheap gas...I'd steal plates, put em on my car, then gas up and run. They's be looking for the plate's owner.....
