Let me just add to this with my own "Real Fact":
Water should NOT cost more than gasoline.
I volunteered some time to help sell food at a basketball game, bottled water was $3.50 for a 20 oz bottle. That's over $20 a gallon.
IT'S JUST WATER.
The naturally occuring thing that covers the majority of the surface of the earth. Compare to that gasoline, which is a highly processed petroleum product, something that must be drilled and pumped out from the depths of our earth.
Which one should be more costly?
Yes yes, I know fresh water is not as common as salt water, but you get my point.
