These examples do NOT imply that petrol is cheap; it just illustrates how outrageous some prices are.
The last one might shock the socks off you.
So, you think a litre of petrol is expensive?
This makes you think, and also puts things into perspective.
Can of Red Bull, 250ml, $2.95 ... $11.80 per litre!
Robitussin Cough Mixture, 200ml, $9.95 ..... $ 49.75 per litre!
L'Oreal Revitalift Day Cream, 50ml, $29.95 ............. $599.00 per litre!
Bundy Rum, 1250ml, $51.00 .... $40.80 per litre!
Visene Eye Drops, 15ml, $5.69 ... $379.00 per litre!
Britney Spears Fantasy Perfume,50ml, $29 ...... $580.00 per litre!
And this is the REAL KICKER.
Evian water, 375 ml, $2.95 ...$7.86 per litre!
$7.86 for a litre of WATER!!
And the buyers don't even know the source???
(Evian spelled backwards is NAIVE!!)
Ever wonder why computer printers are so cheap?
So they can hook you for the ink!!
Someone calculated the cost of the ink at, you won't believe it but it's true; $1,040 a litre.
$1040.00 A LITRE!!!
So, the next time you're at the pump, be glad your car doesn't run on water, Red Bull, Robitussin, L'Oreal or, printer ink!!!!!
And - If you don't pass this along to at least one person, your muffler will fall off!!

Re: Petrol $$$
But water can be split into hydrogen and oxygen and an internal combustion engine runs very well on that mix? Just don't bother with the bottled stuff. It's a bit like AdBlu, the stuff the later model diesels must use to clean up the exhaust emissions. It's urine, yet they charge $1 ltr, now that's really taking the p*ss The crazy thing is, LPG is less than $1 ltr, it adds a fuel so reduces the diesel used and negates the need to run AdBlu, but you won't see that advice given anywhere. The same as adding an electrolyser, the split water producing 2 parts hydrogen and one part oxygen will clean up the exhaust emissions better than any EGR system and AdBlu could ever achieve, but they certainly won't tell you about that one.
