Many other everyday items cost waay more than gasoline, some ridiculously, and inexplicably so, but don't spark the reaction fuel prices do. Some examples:
- Mobil1 - $24/gal
Whole Milk - $3.80/gal.
Listerene - $9/gal.
Bottled Water - $8.72/gal.
Starbuck's - $64/gal.
Orange Juice - $4.89/gal. (and rising)
Diet Snapple - $10.32/gal.
Soft Drinks - $7.04/gal.
Pepto Bismol - $123.20/gal.
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99 |

Alas don't forget Perrier or other high end water bottles. $10 a gallon. Much more depending on when and where you buy it. Even at Walmart bottled water runs about $3.00 for a 12 pack of half liter bottles. WATER, mind you. Water!! The planet's most plentify resource.
