Guys,
Note, that prices in for instance the Netherlands are at least 1.5 times
higher than in the USA!!!!!
So why do you complain?
Cheers,

Everyone complaining about gas prices...
simply spend a month on the roads in Europe.
...anywhere from $2.50 to $6.00 a gallon (equivalent)
besides...consider the idea that in America our bottled water
costs more than an equivalent volume of beer!

So you think gas is expensive.....
Diet Snapple 16oz for $1.29 = $10.32 per gallon
Lipton Ice Tea 16oz for $1.19 = $ 9.52 per gallon
Gatorade 20oz for $1.59 = $ 10.17 per gallon
Ocean Spray 16oz for $1.25 = $ 10.00 per gallon
Pint of milk 16oz for $1.59 = $12.72 per gallon
STP Brake Fluid 12oz for $3.15 = $ 33.60 per gallon
Vick's Nyquil 6oz for $8.35 = $ 178.13 per gallon
Pepto Bismol 4oz for $3.85 = $123.20 per gallon
Whiteout 7oz for $1.39 = $25.42 per gallon
Scope 1.5oz for $0.99 = $ 84.48 per gallon
And this is the REAL KICKER......
Evian water 9oz for $1.49 = $ 21.19 per gallon .....$21.19 FOR
WATER!!
So next time you're at the pump, be glad your car doesn't run on
Nyquil,
or Scope, or Pepto Bismol!!!!
Just a thought.....
