Simple Supply And Demand

To illustrate, Alaska Dispatch News points out that a 10-pound winter king salmon would currently go for about $7.34 a pound, or $73 per fish, while a barrel of crude oil is running about $30.

The average cost of bottled water is $1.22 per gallon.
1 barrel of oil = 42 gallons.
Therefore...

1 barrel of oil = $30.00
1 barrel of bottled water = $51.24

Around here a 16OZ bottle of water is a buck or more. I wish is were $1.22 a gallon.

If I go to the sink it's about $1.50 for 1000 gallons!

Too bad the sewer fee to take dirty water away is about $6 per 1000 gallons. Still, even including that fee, my water is only $0.09375 per 16 oz!

Greg needs to be a more thrifty shopper!

Water is 78 cents per gallon at my grocery store.
