3tubs × 40gal/tub × $3.50/gal = $420.

Wow, you're spending $420 on shipping? How far away are they keeping those slaves?

Shipping doesn't use gasoline, it uses bunker fuel, which is currently about $700/ton. There are 4k gallons in a ton of such fuel, so approximately 18c/gallon. So the shipping cost in fuel should be about $20, which amusingly checks out.

Of course the cost in greenhouse gasses is astronomical, which is a big part of the problem.

Might I introduce you to a concept called "hyperbole"?

Shipping doesn't come by car, with gasoline bought at a US gas station.
