The price of Gas versus Printer Ink
Gasoline is cheap compared with the following : The price of Gas versus Printer Ink
All these examples do NOT imply that gasoline is cheap; it just illustrates how outrageous some prices are....
You will be really shocked by the last one! (At least, I was....)
Compared with Gasoline......
Think a gallon of gas is expensive?
This makes one think, and also 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 $1.49..$21.19 per gallon! $21.19 for WATER and the buyers don't even know the source
(Evian spelled backwards is Naive.)
Ever wonder why printers are so cheap?
So they have you hooked for the ink.
Someone calculated the cost of the ink at...............
(you won't believe it...but it is true.........)
$5,200 a gal. (five thousand two hundred dollars)
So, the next time you're at the pump,be glad your car doesn't run on water, Scope, or Whiteout, Pepto Bismol, Nyquil or God forbid, Printer Ink!
Just a little humor to help ease the pain of your next trip to the pump...
And - If you don't pass this along to at least one person, Your muffler will fall off!!
Okay, your muffler won't really fall off...but, you might run out of toilet paper

Re: The price of Gas versus Printer Ink
You're right about the price of ink Mstangmom, in fact, most people I know find that it's cheaper to buy another inexpensive printer rather than the replacement ink.

You can by a cheap Lexmark printer from Walmart for $25.00. The black replacement cartridge for it cost $32.00.

All of this may be true but they are optional items to purchase.
Gas is not optional for me.
I have to buy it to get to work.
The oil companies know this too.
No gas....no job.

That's probably why we found three old printers on the back porch when we cleaned it off.
Re: The price of Gas versus Printer Ink
we usually just buy a new printer too. a lot cheaper that way.
I just thought the comparisons were interesting
