Problem with that idea is you run out of cans right when the price is high.. wait a bit before you fill the cans..

We have rode in the states 3 times this year so far and we have it figured out that we can ride for a week for the same price that we can ride for 4 days in bc because premium is only about 80cents after u convert it and hotel rooms and food are almost half the cost

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!
(At least, I was...)

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.)


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 gal. (five thousand two hundred dollars)


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...

Very good post.. But in my world the problem is I fuel up once, twice, three times a week at over $100 a pop.. Don't remember last time i bought 98 litres of snapple..

NOT GOOD. i cant remember the numbers from last yr, but it takes 60 to fill, and 5 days to empty( light right foot, and thats only to work and back) but if i do punch the gas thru the floorboards it's gone in 1.5 days.

Haha I have a dodge half ton regular cab 2wd with the 4.7l. Can only get about 14 mpg with her now. But I changed the gears in it too.
