Driving with Jack Daniels


For all the crying about "record high" gas prices (which are still cheaper than they were during the 1970s), just be glad that your car doesn't run on distilled spirits.

"On a per-barrel basis, gasoline is America's bargain liquid: 10 percent cheaper than bottled water, a third the cost of milk, a fifth the cost of beer, and less than 2 percent the cost of a bottle of Jack Daniels," the study said...

Compared with other standard expenditures, the increase in gasoline prices since 1982 is 25 percent lower than the increase in food prices, 50 percent lower than the rise in housing costs, 70 percent lower than the rise in medical costs and a whopping 80 percent below the rise in college tuition, the study found.

Of course they still gratuitously mention "last month's record high of $2.276" per gallon. Funny that the media never complains about the record high movie prices of $11 a seat.

It's completely unrelated to the press's parent companies owning the movie studios.

Move along.

Sure, but I don't buy 30 gallons a month of any of that other stuff, even beer.

30 gallons is two standard half-kegs. I've thought a couple of times of putting a tap in at home, but I don't know if I can go through 15 gallons in a couple of months before it goes bad.

Mainly because I never tried, I guess.

I go through 1 half-barrel keg about every two months and haven't had a problem. If you're worried about it, buy a quarter-barrel keg.
