I know that the extra .9 cents per gallon was added during the depression years when a penny meant something, but why do we continue to have that outdated custom? Nearly everyone will quote the price as (whatever) point nine, instead of rounding it up. I don't think the phsycology is still needed today to get you to buy gas. -------just wondering--

Good point.

The price just keeps going up. Anybody know what excuse they're using to try to justify the rising gas prices this time?


I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.

Here they are transforming over to "summer" blend. And just had a fire at the local refinery. Went from 2.3---- to 2.8------. Of course our new gov. also added .39 to it and he isn't done yet. Wants to tax everyone for each mile they drive.

It was a loop hole around the law on taxes back in the day. It's not 14 cents but 13.9 back in the day with taxes and a tax rolled in on the top of a cent price
.....you remember when cartoon of beer was cheaper than case of Pepsi

Same reason retail stores show a price of $6.99 instead of just saying $7.

The .9 cents is a phycological thing
But, for some reason the Governor of Minnesota has no problem asking for an additional tax of a full 20 cents.

Our new governor is adding a tax of .45 per gallon (over the next 3 years) to help "pay for road repair".
Our previous governor added a tax of .27 per gallon for the same reason, and the roads were never touched.
I'm glad somebody's getting rich.....

That's because I read somewhere that Minnesota is ranked 12th for the highest gas prices in the US. He wants to see our ranking rise to about 3rd behind CA & NY.

Out of all these states raising taxes on gas how many are democratic controlled?

I am curious as I think the Democratic party will try to influence our economy so Trump will look bad.

Gas prices effect everything.
