@cwsheaactually, the joke's on you, you mathy man youThere are 128 ounces to a gallon. 20 ounces in those bottles, so it takes128 / 20 = 6.4 bottles of Aquafina or Pepsi to make a gallon. Each bottle costs $1.57, so a gallon would cost6.4 * 1.57 = 10.05 bucks a gallon, which is just over 3.3 times as much as the $3.05 gallon of gas.The more you know!

@kevpsu "There have been studies done that say it is unsafe to refill plastic water bottles. The plastics were not designed for re-use and can ultimately contaminate the water."They are safe to reuse.Source: <a class="user" href="http://www.plasticsmythbuster.org/reusing.asp">http://www.plasticsmythbuster.org/reusing.asp</a>

I heard Dasani comes out of lake Michigan which is not known for being clean. It might not be true but I wouldn't be suprised if it was.
