As I was buying my $3.55 large latte tonight I was thinking about how expensive lattes were. My latte was 16oz, I'm guessing. A gallon is 128oz, so it would take 8 large lattes to make a gallon. That's $28.40. If you figure that much in gas you would get almost 11 gallons of gas at 2.65 per gallon. With my hybrid I get 33 miles per gallon, so if I spent as much on gas as I do on a gallon of latte I would go 363 miles. That basically gets me to Los Angeles which is 373 miles. For the price of a gallon of latte I could drive to L.A. Frack lattes are expensive. For the price of a single latte I could drive the glorious Seventeen Mile Drive. For the price of two lattes I could wind my way through the Big Sur. That's crazy. I'm going to start drinking more drip coffee, this latte stuff is a rip off.
