...is a bit much at around £5 per gallon.
So lets compare it to some other products...
A 16 oz Diet Snapple at £1. 29 = £10. 32 per gallon
16 oz Lipton Iced Tea at £1.19 = £9.52 per gallon
16 oz Ocean Spray at £1.25 = £10.00 per gallon
For your car a 12 oz Brake Fluid at £3.15 = £33.60 per gallon.
A 6oz Vicks Nyquil is £8.35 or £179.13 per gallon.
A 7oz Tippex is £1.39, or £5.42 per gallon.
Need a drink?
A 9 oz Evian is £1.49 or £21.19 a gallon. For Water! And you don't even know the source. No surprise that Evian spelled backwards is NAIVE.
Have you ever wondered why printers are so cheap? Because they have you hooked for the ink.
It has been worked out that printer ink costs you £5,200 a gallon!
Pencil anyone?
