I wonder the same thing.  I can't finish a two-liter bottle before the
soda goes flat.  How am I ever going to get any effervescence out of
that extra liter of soda in a three-liter bottle?
Perhaps the three-liter bottle is for families with
hordes of soda-drinking teen-agers in the house.
Here in New Jersey, a typical price for a two-liter bottle of
(name-your-favorite-type-of) Coke is $1.30.
I've seen the three-liter bottles for $1.90.
So the price is in proportion.
