All these examples do NOT imply that petrol 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 Petrol……
Think a gallon of petrol is expensive?
This makes one think, and also puts things in perspective.
Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz £1.19 ………..£9.52 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 E8.35 … £178..13 per gallon
Pepto 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!
Just a little humour to help ease the pain of your next trip to the petrol pump…
And – If you don’t pass this along to at least one person, your exhaust will fall off!
