I mean, it made sense (no pun intended) when the gas was 5 cents or so, but it's just silly now. Asked by Schelli 48 months ago Similar questions: thinks nonsense cents dropped gasoline prices rounded Entertainment > Humor.
Similar questions: thinks nonsense cents dropped gasoline prices rounded.
I agree That fraction is supposed to make the price seem like it’s one cent cheaper than what it really is. I remember when gas cost less than a dollar (ok that means I'm old) and that . 9 made a difference but with the price of around $3.00 a gallon, it makes no sense and no one if fooled by it.
I couldn't agree more but neither can I get fired up about it. It's just one of those stupid annoying things that will never be fixed. When talking gas prices I generally just drop the 0.9, for all the difference it makes to the price of a tankful..
Absolutely.. I completely agree with you. BTW, merchants tell me that the 2.99 items DO sell better than 3.00 items. Maybe it's a flaw in our programming.
Happy Holidays! .
I do ... I do think that is should be dropped. It's just a marketing scam. 309.9 no 310 this morning.Bad.
I just can't keep up. It's making me sick everytime I think about it. I think I need to trade my gas pig this year.
I just can't keep throwing $$ down the tank. You would just choose the cheapest from 3.00 over 3.01 and 3.02. You would do the same. I would do the same.
I drove by a 3.05 and a 3.09 this morning to a 2.99 do it yourself and let me tell you it was cold. But I know I only saved $1 to $2 buy doing this today. And if it's only a one cent you save .40 to .80 cents on a fill and if you fill say 6 times a month for a 4.80 savings that will still buy me milk.
Almost..... It you can save-why not. I try to go to the cheapest even if it's a cent or two but I drive a gas pig. I really need to do something about that!
Have a good one....
All I know is gas is way too expensive We need to put a stop to this. Do you know that people in saudi arabia drive around all day and waste gas. When asked why they stated why not petroleum is so cheap.
We're scared to leave the house because of gas prices...
" "I noticed diesel prices are about 40 cents more than gas. Should I buy the VW diesel Bug or the VW gasoline Bug?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
