You know if you do the math:-

Bottled water = $8.00 per gallon and a Cafe Latte = $24.00 per gallon.

How much is Gas?!!

Actually, it depends on what kind of bottled water you buy. I just bought four gallon-size bottles of no-name/storebrand spring water for $0.79 each. The last time gas cost that little, people still called me "Miss" instead of "Ma'am!"

I agree it is a ridiculous comparison, and thanks for pointing out that they are different things, I almost chugged on some cheap gas. As ridiculous as it may be, it is also somewhat interesting as there are certain and obvious similarities.

I have always thought that was a ridiculous comparison as well. They're completely different things. And it doesn't make anyone feel any better when gas is $4 a gallon.

A 1.5 oz. shot of alcohol (no top shelf) sells for $3.00 (on average) in these parts.

There are roughly 85 shots to a gallon.

85 x 3 = $255 per gallon

I don't often drink 12 gallons of Red Bull in a day but I can burn that much driving. I guess I never understood this comparison about how soda (or whatever) was more expensive than gas. I don't need 50 gallons of soda a week, but I do need that much gasoline.

Here you go.

My Fav drink is Red bull Energy Drink
I pay $2.39 at the local 7-11 store for 8.3oz

There are 128 oz in 1 Gallon
This equates to 15.4 cans

Therefore Red Bull costs me $36.00 per gallon

OUCH! Now I'm going on the town to find me a rich woman.

How much is your Drink per Gal?
