Gas Prices vs ?

People have been complaining about the rising price of gasoline recently, but I have always thought that gas was a good value (especially if you were to take the $0.30, $0.40 per gallon tax off at the pump)! Obviously others need a little convincing. So the article in this week's "Autoweek" magazine brought it all to light. What if you were to buy a gallon of . . .

1. - Diet Snapple 16 oz for $1.29 = $10.32 per gallon

2. - Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz for $1.19 = $9.52 per gallon

3. - Gatorade 20 oz for $1.59 = $10.17 per gallon

4. - Ocean Spray 16 oz for $1.25 = $10.00 per gallon

5. - Quart of Milk 16 oz for $1.59 = $6.32 per gallon

6. - Evian (water) 9 oz for $1.49 = $21.19 per gallon

7. - STP Brake Fluid 12 oz for $3.15 = $33.60 per gallon

8. - Vicks Nyquil 6 oz for $8.35 = $178.13 per gallon

9. - Pepto Bismol 4 oz for $3.85 = $123.20 per gallon

10. - Whiteout 7 oz for $1.39 = $254.17 per gallon

11. - Scope 1.5 oz for $0.99 = $84.84 per gallon

So next time you're at the pump, be glad your car doesn't run on Nyquil or Scope or Whiteout!

Exactly. So i'm happy.

Well thank God I don't use a gallon of Pepto Bismol every 11 miles! I can't say that I'd drink a gallon of anything every 11 miles either. That's a lot of White Out to be sniffing every 11 miles as well! But then again, if I drank a gallon of anything and sniffed a gallon of White Out every 11 miles, I might need a gallon of Pepto Bismol every 11 miles or more!

Oh yeah... $2.77 here.

The white out price must be a typo. Either the ounce or price is off, but it wouldn't calculate out to that amount.

[HOWDY69]

I have been looking at project cars with my son and a 65 Mustang coupe with a 200 straight six is looking pretty good. Any idea what kind of mileage they get?

[1970F250]

my friend has a falcon with a 200 let me ask him and i'll post it here.

About $2.80 locally, and $2.55 in city 45 miles away. Free enterprise???

[ToughOldFord]

They said on the news today that even though gas prices are currently going up they still shouldn't get as high as they did last summer.

[N7HO]

$2.45 to $2.49 / Gallon here.
