........can we get rid of the F'n 9/10 of a cent at the end of gas prices ??????
That 1/10 of a cent is now less than .02% of the price of a gallon of regular unleaded. Does ANYONE feel they're getting a bargain at $5.099/gallon over $5.10/gallon ???
WTF ??????

I read this one time....
Back in the 73 gas war days, when prices took a leap, it looked better to have a big sign with $1.259 (with the 9/10's being smaller, than a sign with $1.26. This is just an example. According to the article, that's when it became popular.
