Just a little humor to help ease the pain of your next trip to the pump...
Compared 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 Bismal or Nyquil.


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

I just filled up the van today with 87 for $68 for 32 gal.   

The Battle cruiser cost around $300 to fill, it holds 130 gal.  :yikes:

2004 Tundra is about 22+ gallons a fill (on fuel light) of Shell regular fuel and cost about $45 to $50.  It gets 15.5 to 18.0 mpg for normal driving.

1985 Truck is about 12+ gallons (gas gauge isn't super accurate so I stop a bit early) a fill of Shell premium, not sure on cost.  It gets 17-18 mph on normal driving.

I am trying to get the little toy running on regular fuel again.  Pings on anything but quality premium fuel.

With the price of gas I have taken to riding my Goldwing to work. 40-45 mpg. A $12 fillup takes me back and fourth to work for a full week.
