Below is something I was sent from the US. Puts the price of gasoline into
perspective.

Gas Out
-------
More thoughts on the proposed "Gas-out" April 7-9. Here are a few things
that the magazine Autoweek has brought to the public's attention. And
thanks to subscriber Christine for passing it along to us!
.... This is what it costs to buy a gallon of.....
Diet Snapple - 16oz for $1.29 = $10.32 a gallon
Lipton Iced Tea - 16 oz for $1.19 = $9.52 a gallon
Gatorade - 20 oz for $1.59 = $10.17 a gallon
Ocean Spray - 16 oz for $1.25 = $10.00 a gallon
Evian water - 9 oz for $1.49 = $21.19 a gallon. $21.19 FOR WATER!! Maybe
that's the reason "Evian" spelled backward is "Naive" ...
STP brake fluid - 12 oz for $3.15 = $33.60 a gallon
Scope - 1.5 oz for $0.99 = $84.84 a gallon
Vick's Nyquil - 6 oz for $8.35 = $178.13 a gallon (Of course, you are paying
for all that alcohol, too).
But here's the real kicker!!
White Out - 0.7 oz for $1.39 = $254.17 a gallon (i.e Tipex in the UK)
So next time you're at the pump, be glad your car doesn't run on White
Out!!!
