Gas price comparison

Gas Prices vs ?

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 per gallon tax off at the pump)! Obviously others need a little convincing. So the article in this week's "Autoweek" magazine brought it all to light. What if you were to buy a gallon of . . .


- Diet Snapple 16 oz for $1.29 = $10.32 per gallon


- Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz for $1.19 = $9.52 per gallon


- Gatorade 20 oz for $1.59 = $10.17 per gallon


- Ocean Spray 16 oz for $1.25 = $10.00 per gallon


- Quart of Milk 16 oz for $1.59 = $6.32 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


- Vicks Nyquil 6 oz for $8.35 = $178.13 per gallon


- Pepto Bismol 4 oz for $3.85 = $123.20 per gallon


- Whiteout 7 oz for $1.39 = $254.17 per gallon


- Scope 1.5 oz for $0.99 = $84.84 per gallon


So next time you're at the pump, be glad your car doesn't run on Nyquil or Scope or Whiteout!

Lets add a little to the pot and throw local gas prices.  I'm up in Calgary which is the current economic hub of Canada and the average gas price per litre is $1.159.  3.78541 litre to the gallon so we are around $4.387 cdn dollars per with a roughly flat exchange rate to the US$ currently.

Go!

I took the family to England for the month of July and it cost us around $200 cdn per fill for the midsize SUV we rented.  It was to be a Land Rover LR4 but they only had Mitsubishi's when we arrived.  6 cyl turbo but it was a heck of a nice ride which I would happily buy if such a engine was over here.  For the month it went through about 7 tanks or so driving every day accross the country.

$4.19/Cheap stuff
$3.99/Cheap stuff on a military base.  We don't pay state taxes.

$3.85 ish/gallon in Vermont. Deisel is quite a bit higher. We were down to $3.40-$3.50 range about a month ago for some reason.

In the bush days I paid 25 dollars to fill my car with premium gasoline.  This morning I paid 52 dollars to fill my tank with regular.

Just put $78 worth of unleaded gas in the car last night. Gotta love the $4.69/gallon gas here!
