Compared with Petrol......

image001.gifCompared with Petrol......
image002.gifThink 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
image006.jpgOcean 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
image009.jpgPepto 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 gal... (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!

I often joke about things like that with my gardening pals.
It's probably worse for me because I remember when petrol was either 2, 3 or 4 star, and then you had a Tiger in your tank..not to mention green shield stamps.
When I had my 500cc Norton, petrol was about 3 shillings and 6d a gallon, and diesel was a dirty fuel pump stuck in the corner of the garage somewhere.....selling at half a crown a gallon.
