Bottled vs Tap Water
Bottled water advertising leads people to believe that their products are produced in pristine, natural surroundings and are purer. The truth is most bottled water is just filtered tap water..
Bottled water works out to paying 5 cents per ounce for a 20 ounce bottle costing $1. In comparison, tap water costs less than 1 cent per gallon. The average price of gas in the United States is around $3 a gallon, or 2 cents an ounce, so you are paying over twice as much for bottled water by volume as you are for gasoline.
