Hmmm, yes, but the proportions are way different. Your car consumes waaaay more gasoline than you do drinks (non-alcoholic, okay ).

If you add up how much, say, Iced Tea you drink per week at $9.52/gal and drink a gallon per week, that's only $9.52/week.

But, if you buy gasoline that costs $1.40/gallon, have a car that gets about 25 miles/gal, and drive about 400 miles/week, that'd come to about $34/week. And this isn't even adding in that you'll get less miles/gallon in the city compared to hwy....

Now ain't I just the smarty pants....
