Spreading false information

Clark Howard today stated that bottled water costs more per gallon than gasoline. Clark Howard is smarter than this.

Bottled Water: $5.99/case of 24 half litter bottles. 33.8 oz/liter *24 * .5 = 405.6 ounces

1 Gallon = 4 qts - therefore 32 ounces/qt *4 = 128 ounces.

Gas is $4.00/gallon or .03125.
Water is $5.99 / 405.6 ounces = $.0148 per ounce * 128 ounces = $1.890 per gallon.

Next time someone makes this argument to me, I'm going to slap them for (a) being wrong, and (b) using such a stupid straw-man argument.
