For all the work it takes to refine crude-
oil into gas, you'd think that mineral water
would be 1 cent a gallon! Go figure...

The difference to me in the prices associated with bottled water and gas is pretty simple. You don't need to buy bottled water, and you use a hell of a lot less of it than gas.

The bottle in bottled water is usually a big part of the expense, but yeah, bottled water is insane. Soft drinks are cheaper.

Gas here is about $1.25/gallon now that they are done price gouging the midwest for a while. I believe an investigation was mentioned again just before prices dropped, again. I don't expect them to be here long. On a side note OPEC has indicated they would like to get together with Mexico and increase production again.
