Is Gasoline Expensive??

From The Big Picture Cheap Gas...How cheap is this drilled, transported, refined gasoline? Cheaper than water, $21.19 for a gallon of Evian WATER - and the buyers don't even know the source. No wonder Evian spelled backwards is Naive. Its an excellent blog, complete with a chart of other refined liquids and their costs. But did you know??

If you were to fill up the tank of your car with Hewlett-Packard or Lexmark ink, it would cost $100,000. If you filled an Olympic-size swimming pool with ink from HP or Lexmark inkjet cartridges, it would cost $5.9 billion with a B.

With a scant 17 milliliters of ink per HP Inkjet cartridge, you are paying $8000 a gallon for printer ink. Ouch.

One fluid ounce equals: 29.5735 milliliters, one black cartridge contains around 15 milliliters and it costs $30 - $35, so around $60 - $70 per ounce. Multiply by 128 ounces per gallon and you have $8000 a gallon.
