Bayer, you just made think of something. What's this 9/10 thing on gas prices? I've ALWAYS wondered about that! Why not just price it so it's an even number, like $2.42 a gallon instead of $2.419
It's the same thing as pricing something at $99.99 instead of $100.00. I guess it's a mental thing? You might say "Oh, it's only $99!"?? - duh! Whatever.

California Girl, you should hear my husband on that one. If the sign says $2.419, I'll call it $2.41, knowing full well that it's actually basically a penny more. Every time he corrects me with, "No, it's $2.42." It's become a weird joke with us.California Girl wrote:Bayer, you just made think of something. What's this 9/10 thing on gas prices?

2.50ish around here. Been riding the bike too work and haven't ridden anywhere else and filled up Sept 15. Just hit reserve Thursday and filled her up for a grand total of $7. Only drive 10 miles round trip but what a deal for over a month of getting to work. Getting pretty cold in the morning though. Gawd I'm such a cheap a$$

hit around 2.50ish in southern ct.
And ironically enough the Toyota dealership just happened to call with a Prius available, no waiting. hmmmm...
rickG - thanks for the reply way back when, although if I recall, I think you are off enjoying yourself right now!?
it will be interesting to see if it keeps dropping over the next couple weeks...
