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per gallon was added during the depression years when a penny meant something, but why do we continue to have that outdated custom?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?

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

If gas prices continue to rise, will coon prices follow?

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.
