ok, but lets think about it like this: how long does it take you to go through an ink cartridge? I do a good amount of printing and it takes me at least a month maybe more. do you really drink a gallon of mouthwash every day? i would hope not. if you took a gallon of nyquill you’d probably not be reading this cuz you would be dead. and people that pay for bottled water are just dumb. gas is something you use a lot of. so this comparison isnt even really a comparison at all if you think about it in real world terms. ---

Lets look at it this way, think of everything involved with the process of retreiving, shipping, refining, shipping again, labor, and who knows what else involved in the process. Obviously there must be a union to blame somewhere. :mamoru: But seriously, it’s relativly cheap in that sense. We are just finally catching up to the rest of the world in this I suppose. ---

^ lol, the antiprotest would be great. The funny thing is, if there is suddenly a huge queue of cars @ a station, sociology guarantees that there will be a number of sheep who get in line behind us. ---
