9/10 Gas Pricing

LOL.

Probably the same reason damn near EVERY product is sold at $x9.99

I like going on BMA's website and seeing their random prices, like $87.38 for a control arm. Way to stick it to the man, BMA.

Were you ever held back a grade in elementary school?

One thing that I have always wondered was why gas prices always ended in increments of nine-tenths? If the price of gas is $2.99 and 9/10, why not just round it up to $3.00? Does the industry think that they are fooling us by making the price 1/10 of a penny cheaper so that we will think that its 1 cent less? I mean if you rounded the price up to an even number, we are still going to pay it regardless of how much we hate the price.
