Coincidentally, I just returned from the local market. Spring water was selling for $1.00/gallon. The local gas stations in town have regular unleaded @ $2.57 - $2.69 per gallon. That same gallon (same brand) sells for $1.35 @ the local high-end organic grocery, still cheaper than gasoline. Now, if you're talking about "designer" water, yes, it can be more expensive than gasoline. Gasoline will get you further down the road, however.
