Just need your calculator to convert the small sizes to gallons.

Gallon Milk $3.50
Gallon Pepsi $ 5.30
Gallon of Lighter fluid $11.86
Gallon Starbucks Frapuccino $ 20.48 (and there are lines for this stuff)
Gallon Elmers glue $20.54
Gallon of Ragu Pizza Sauce $30.17
Gallon Evian water $ $21.19 ($1.49 bottle)
Vicks Nyquil 6 oz for $8.35 = $178.13 per gallon

I know we use gas daily just take it in context.

VISIT a state park and enjoy the outdoors
Now if only we could make gasoline like we make all of the things you listed above. Oops, there are no more dinosaurs!
