| Just a Little Levity Maybe this will make you feel a lot better when you go to the gas pumps
The price of Gas versus Printer Ink
All these examples do NOT imply that gasoline is cheap; it just illustrates how outrageous some prices are.
You will be really shocked by the last one!
Compared with Gasoline......
Think a gallon of gas is expensive?
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 ..$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 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.
Printer ink is $5,200 a gallon!!!
So, the next time you're at the pump,be glad your car doesn't run on water, Scope, or Whiteout, Pepto Bismol, Nyquil or God forbid, Printer Ink!
Just a little humor to help ease the pain of your next trip to the pump... |

| Hi
I worked the offshore rigs and they have some real high costs to get this stuff to the pump. 20-30 million to survey , average lease another 30 mil, , 30 mil to drill, 1 in 4 is worth developing, 300 mil or so to put in enough wells to make it developable, instaslling a production platform is anothe 100 million, then another couple of hundred mil to run a pipe line to tie in to one going to the beach. And it is still crude oil until refined and distributed. Then the tax on it is added. No wonder it is going up. |

| Listen, something drastic needs to happen! EVERYONE in the US needs to unite and take on the Government in order to lower fuel prices. I have kids and can’t imagine what’s in there future the way this country is going. Everything is made in China and most people losing their jobs to China due to these businesses moving over there, just to get rich and ruin the way of life in their own home land. Its no wonder why people steal and cheat just to make ends meet. HOW BAD IS IT GOING TO GET BEFORE ANYTHING GETS BETTER?

Price will jump another fifty cents and then drop $.75 and the worst part is we'll be happy.
