This time the sign was unapologetically advertising a price of $4.619 per gallon.<\/p>\n<p>You know, I hate that sign. Some days I feel like it is taunting me &#8212; especially the ones when I have no choice but to pull into the station and fill &#8216;er up.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;I&#8217;ve read your blog, Penzo<\/em><em>,&#8221;<\/em> that dumb old sign will say. <em>&#8220;You and I both know shopping for <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id1616-the-grand-illusion-how-cheaper-gas-ultimately-costs-you-more.html\">low gas prices<\/a> is a losing proposition, so suck it up and pay the piper.&#8221; <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Owning a Honda Accord that averages about 32 miles per gallon doesn&#8217;t make it any less painful for me; I&#8217;m now dropping more than $50 each time I fill up the tank.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, when I got home I had to share the latest gas price news with the Honeybee, who happened to be curled up on the couch with a good book (so I&#8217;m told). &#8220;Can you believe it? Gas is up to $4.62!&#8221; I said, not even bothering to say hello.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s three cents more than Friday!&#8221; she replied, also not bothering to say hello. With that the Honeybee promptly took a sip from one of her favorite drinks &#8212; a foo foo iced caramel macchiato from Starbucks. Then she said, &#8220;You know, gas prices are just <strong><em>outrageous<\/em><\/strong>!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She was right. But as I watched her take another swig from her drink, it dawned on me that gasoline really ain&#8217;t such a bad deal when compared to those expensive beverages from the <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id483-im-just-askin-why-waste-money-at-starbucks-2.html\">Starbucks menu<\/a> &#8212; or a lot of other everyday products for that matter. Consider that the 24-ounce caramel macchiato in her hand cost $4.75; if Starbucks priced them like Exxon prices gasoline, that drink would cost $25.329 per gallon.<\/p>\n<p>And we&#8217;re complaining about the price of a gallon of gas?<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of other examples, of course. Here are just a few based upon a quick online price survey I recently conducted:<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"220\"><strong>Item<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"90\"><strong>Container Size<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"90\"><strong>Price Per Container<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"130\"><strong>Price If Sold by Exxon (Cost Per Gallon)<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Coca-Cola (12-pack)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">144 oz.<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">$5.78<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">$5.129<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Coca-Cola (vending machine)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">20 oz.<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">$1.50<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">$9.589<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Budweiser beer (6-pack)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">72 oz.<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">$7.48<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">$13.289<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Coffee-Mate creamer<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">32 oz.<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">$4.69<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">$18.759<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Kikkoman soy sauce<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">40 oz.<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">$6.64<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">$21.239<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Red Bull<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">20 oz.<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">$4.79<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">$30.639<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Simply Saline saline solution<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">24 oz.<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">$9.95<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">$53.059<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Jack Daniel&#8217;s whiskey<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">25.36 oz.<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">$16.73<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">$84.449<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Tabasco Brand pepper sauce<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">5 oz.<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">$3.99<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">$102.139<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>So, as you can see, when put in perspective, gasoline prices really <em><strong>are<\/strong><\/em> a bargain compared to many other everyday products &#8212; especially when you realize what you get for the money.
