Compared to Other Liquids, Gasoline is Cheap

I used to be amazed that soda cost more per gallon than gasoline. Why bottled sugar water (now high fructose corn syrup water) should cost more than something pumped up from under the desert on the other side of the planet baffled me. Now it's not quite true. I see that a 2 liter bottle of coke costs $1.89, that $3.57 a gallon which is less than I pay for gas.

David Pogue takes this idea further and finds Compared to Other Liquids, Gasoline is Cheap. The real revelation is thinking of the price of inkjet printer ink per gallon ($4,294.58).
