Ink. It's probably one of the most expensive liquids on the planet. On single cartridge of black ink for my printer is .00 after sales tax. I can't find numbers anywhere on the actual amount of ink that's in a cartridge, but guessing by the size of it, it can't be more than a fluid ounce. That equates to about 04.00 per gallon. So now gas prices don't look so bad after all (we're about .80-.50/gal in Maryland). Even if you fill up more than you do replacing ink, I think you still come out ahead.
The only thing that may be more expensive than ink would be certain medications. I know that Epogen is highly expensive. A quick search on Google shows that a 1mL vial is going for around .00. That equates out to roughly 1,725.00 per gallon!
Think about this the next time you hit "PRINT".
