[In Maine we currently are paying $1.32 for regular gasoline.  The cost
 is climbing. But should we complain when other nations pay three and
 four times the amount? And we can be happy we don't have to fill up
 with spring water!  -DST]

What if you were to buy a gallon of:
            Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz for $1.19 =  $9.52 per gallon
            Ocean Spray 16 oz for $1.25 =     $10.00 per gallon
            Gatorade 20 oz for $1.59 =        $10.17 per gallon
            Snapple 16 oz. for $1.29 =        $10.32 per gallon
            Evian (water) 9 oz for $1.49 =    $21.19 per gallon
            STP Brake Fluid 12 oz for $3.15 = $33.60 per gallon
            Scope 1.5 oz for $0.99 =          $84.84 per gallon
            Pepto Bismol 4 oz for $3.85 =     $123.20 per gallon
            Vicks Nyquil 6 oz for $8.35 =     $178.13 per gallon
            Whiteout 7 oz for $1.39 =         $254.17 per gallon

    So next time you're at the pump, be happy your car doesn't run on
Nyquil or Scope.
