All these examples do NOT imply that petrol is cheap; it just illustrates how outrageous some prices are....

Compared with Petrol......

Think a gallon of petrol 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



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 E8.35 ......... £178.13 per gallon



Pepto Bismol 4 oz £3.85 ......... £123.20 per gallon



Tippex 7 oz £1.39 ....... . £5.42 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.)


You don't even want to compare it with perfume or after shave.

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 gallon.. (five thousand two hundred pounds)


So, the next time you're at the pump,be glad your car doesn't run on water, or Tippex, Pepto Bismol, Nyquil or God forbid, Printer Ink!


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

And - If you don't pass this along to at least one person,
your exhaust will fall off!!

Okay, your exhaust won't really fall off....but you might run out of toilet paper :laugh:
