>>>People have been complaining about the rising price of gasoline recently,
>>>but I have always thought that gas was a good value (especially if you were
>>>to take the $0.30 - $0.40 [or more] per gallon tax off at the pump)!
>>>Obviously others need a little convincing. So the article in a recent issue
>>>of "Autoweek" magazine brought it all to light.....
>>>What if you were to buy a gallon of:........
>>>Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz for $1.19.......................$9.52 per gallon
>>>Ocean Spray 16 oz for $1.25......................$10.00 per gallon
>>>Gatorade 20 oz for $1.59......................$10.17 per gallon
>>>Diet Snapple 16 oz for $1.29......................$10.32 per gallon
>>>Evian (water) 9 oz for $1.49......................$21.19 per gallon
>>>STP Brake Fluid 12 oz for $3.15......................$33.60 per gallon
>>>Scope 1.5 oz for $0.99......................$84.84 per gallon
>>>Pepto Bismol 4 oz for $3.85.....................$123.20 per gallon
>>>Vicks Nyquil 6 oz for $8.35.....................$178.13 per gallon
>>>Whiteout .7 oz for $1.39.....................$254.17 per gallon

>>>So next time you're at the pump, be grateful your car doesn't run on
>>>Whiteout!
