Starbucks Vs Gatorade Vs Gas: wow
The price of gas has been going crazy lately but even now gas is one of the cheaper liquids that we buy on a daily basis. Sure we use more of it, but as a whole its still a lot cheaper in comparison. If we were to take off the government’s piece of of the cost (up to a dollar in places) it would be even cheaper. So I did a little research and few price comparisons to see just exactly what we pay per gallon for the rest of the things we buy in ascending order.
1 gallon of gas = $3.37
Quart of Milk 16 oz for $1.59 = $6.32 per gallon (gallons can be found for cheaper – $4ish a gallon)
Gatorade 20 oz for $1.59 = $10.17 per gallon
Snapple 16 oz for $1.29 = $10.32 per gallon
Water 9 oz for $1.49 = $21.19 per gallon
Starbucks 8 ounce coconut almond mocha for $4.43(what I used to drink) = $70.88 per gallon
Good thing our cars don’t run on starbucks, eh?

I love this!
This definitely puts the price of gas in perspective.
What’s funny is comparing the price of something to Starbucks is a popular way to justify price in direct response selling.
Hahaha, guess Im selling my post
While Starbucks actually tastes good (IMO), what I can’t believe is how much people spend on bottled water. If the water is that bad, a filter is an awful lot cheaper.
I was just talking to my wife today about the price per gallon of water vs. price per gallon of gas and wondering how they compared with gas hitting $4.00 a gallon at some stations. It looks like water is still a lot more expensive. Next time we go to Starbucks I’m going to remind my wife that her drink is 21 times more expensive than gas.
Hey chuckleheads, Gatorade doesn’t cost $10 a gallon.
You can get it in gallon containers for around $4. Using a smaller container number to boost the price is lame and incorrect.
