I read and re-read this to make sure that what I saw was right.
What a fucking wanker you are, trying to compare water prices to petrol
Have you ever tried to run your car on water, or even tried to drink petrol?

if you had, then you would have found out that it doesn't work either way.
Two vastly different commodities with a different use .
While you are at it Einstien Otterbot, compare the price of diamonds with 
glass,
then go complain to the jewellers that they are charging too much for a 5 
carat ring when one can be made with glass instead of a diamond

Don't forget to take your daily meds, you have obviously missed out on a 
dose or five.
