I saw one of these lists once, and eye drops were the most expensive item on the list. Sue in NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 14, 2002 Report Share Posted August 14, 2002 Hi , cute, another thought on gas stations...several of our local stations now have signs " If you drive away without paying, you will lose your license " with a large picture of a police officer arresting the driver....Road construction sites have signs posted that if you hit a construction worker...you will be fined a minimum of $2500. and spend up to 11 years in jail...and yet I have a friend who was killed by a drunk driver last year. The driver had two previous drunk driving accident convictions...one while her license was suspended...she got 2 months in jail and 6 months probation...priorities a little goofed up, I'd say...but I liked your article, a little more upbeat than mine...hope you have a pain free day...marge [ ] Gas Prices > IF You Think A Gallon Of Gas Is Expensive? > > Makes one think, and puts things in 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 > > > > > > > >and 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. > > > > > > > >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...........! > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was sent by a retired Coca Cola executive._ It came from one of his engineer buddies who retired from Halliburton._ If you are tired of the gas prices going up AND they will continue to rise this summer, take time to read this please. Hollsworth offered this good idea. This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the " don't buy gas on a certain day " _ campaign that was going around last April or May! It's worth your consideration._ Join the resistance!!!! I hear we are going to hit close to $ 4.00 a gallon by next summer and it might go higher!!_ Want gasoline prices to come down?__ We need to take some intelligent, united action._ The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to " hurt " ourselves by refusing to buy gas. It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them. BUT, whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can Really work._ Please read on and join with us!_ By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $1.50 is super cheap._ Me too!_ It is currently $2.79 for regular unleaded in my town. Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at $1.50 - $1.75, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace..not sellers. With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to take action. The only way we are going to see the price of gas come down is if we hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their gas!_ And, we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves. How?_ Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying gas. But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act together to force a price war. Here's the idea: For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest companies (which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL. If they are not selling any gas, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit. But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon and Mobil gas buyers._ It's really simple to do!_ Now, don't wimp out on me at this point...keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!! I am sending this note to 30 people._ If each of us send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) ..._ and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000)...and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth group of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers. If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted! If it goes one level further, you guessed it....._ THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!! Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people._ That's all! (If you don't understand how we can reach 300 million and all you have to do is send this to 10 people...._ Well, let's face it, you just aren't a mathematician._ But I am ._ so trust me on this one.) :-) How long would all that take?_ If each of us sends this e-mail out to ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!!! I'll bet you didn't think you and I had that much potential, did you! Acting together we can make a difference. If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on._ I suggest that we not buy from EXXON/MOBIL UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $1.30 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN._ THIS CAN REALLY WORK. --------------------------------- Get the toolbar and be alerted to new email wherever you're surfing. --------------------------------- Don't be flakey.
