I realize this is all in fun, but all the example you gave are packaged. You're paying a premium price for packaging. Gasoline is sold in bulk. A better comparison would be city water at a few cents per hundred (or thousand) gallons.
Newspaper companies buy ink in bulk. I know it is a significant part of their printing costs, but I doubt that it's anywhere near $5000/gallon. Probably less than 100 bucks a gallon.
That said, gasoline is still dirt cheap and very convenient. Imagine if we had steam-powered cars that we had to stoke with firewood; It would take a face cord of wood to drive to work and back!
