Just an interesting aside:
If you take out taxes, a gallon of distilled water costs more than a gallon of regular, unleaded gasoline in my town. (Distilled water, store brand, no "hype" about minerals, etc. like Vichy or Perrier) Average shelf price is $1.19 USD.
Second aside:
I live in an area surrounded by millionaires to the southeast, "horse country" to the north, farms to the west, white collar managers and business owners to the southwest. The millionaires drive Chevys and Ferraris, horse folks have Lexus SUV to haul horse trailers, managers who live in condos have Hummers, farmers have pickups and Tauruses, and I drive a "soccer mom" minivan.
Sure is a wide variety of vehicles on the road every day! (I note the gasoline price of the only station within a mile of the "manager condo complex" charges 10 cents a gallon more than the three stations of the same brand near me. Those Hummer folk get hosed coming and going.)
