We're in then $2.70s here in Ohio... but I'm not complaining. Just wish we could get a couple of more refineries built to take care of some of the price.

Although this concerns the whole population, it concerns the College students who commute the most.

Glad I got the TSX and it's 500mile per tank capabilities. Man I would be killing myself if I still had to drive that 4.6L V8 to work.

that's the cost of the cartridges. I think I read one place that it's the most expensive refined liquid a consumer can buy. Of course you can get those refill kits for like $10, but the printer companies all charge insane money for the ink. It's just the nature of the business model.

I still buy the OEM carts because the replacement ink just isn't as good. Mind you, I do most of my printing at Henry's even with my Canon at home so I'm just a crackhead.

You Think A Gallon Of Gas Is Expensive?
Makes one think, and puts things into perspective.

Diet Snapple 16 oz $1.29 ....... $10.32 per gallon
Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz $1.19 ...... $ 9.52 per gallon
Gatorade 20 oz $1.59 ............. $10.17 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 $8.35 ......... $178.13 per gallon
Pepto Bismol 4 oz $3.85 .........$123.20 per gallon
Whiteout 7 oz $1.39 ............... $25.42 per gallon
Scope 1.5 oz $0.99 ................. $84.48 per gallon

this is the REAL KICKER.....
Evian water 9 oz for $1.49 ........ $21.19 per gallon. $21.19 FOR WATER! ....and the buyers don't even know the source.

But then again Evian spelled backwards is naïve.

So, the next time you're at the pump, be glad your car doesn't run on water,
Scope, or Whiteout, or God forbid, PEPTO BISMOL or NYQUIL!!!!

Just a little humor to help ease the pain of your next trip to the pump...

This Friday, gas cost for 87 peaked in Montreal at $1.139/L, equivalent to about $3.599/GalUS.

We're still pretty far away from France's average $5.86/GalUS

I fawkin hate this argument.

Noone needs to drink 18 gallons of water or barke fluid a week. Our cars need those 18 gallons though. And last time I checked I paid about $30 every 3 months for water so I'd love it if my car ran on water.

The water argument just shows how much more we get ripped off with water than with gas. Either way, we find out we're getting it IDB.

Yeah, in order to have good mileage at 26.5mpg, I have to drive very conservatively, which means keeping a constant speed on the freeway. I still get on the gas sometimes at onramps and corners. Still, paying $40 for a fillup is a lot. Glad I don't pay $60+ a fillup like those big frigging trucks though
