If you took the average price of a bottle of water, a gallon would cost nearly $7. A gallon of Haagen Dazs ice cream would set you back nearly $30 — 15 times the price of gas.


I'll keep this in mind the next time I'm buying
Haagen Dazs 20 gallons at a time ..

Triff ..

I was watching a movie with my wife last night--Starman, with Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen. Made in 1984. There's a scene where they stop and get gas. The price on on the marquee: 99 cents a gallon.

That was 22 years ago. We both gasped a little when we saw it. Not because it was so cheap then, but because it's obviously still so relatively cheap today. Fifteen minutes ago, I paid $2.06 at the nearest Sam's.
