it's the same theory as charging $3.99 for something that is really $4... they think we don't notice and it gets them an extra penny per gallon essentially. Instead just saying it's $3.06 they say it's $3.059...
It's just an old marketing tool that has well overstayed its purpose...

no rely how plenty i attempt to wrap my innovations around it, I only can no longer decide how ending loan tax deductions on great homes help curtail carbon emissions. different than perchance the potential that it makes use of to warmth and mild-weight it. although, would not Kennedy, Hillary, invoice, and Obama plus all of Hollywood and maximum activities celebrities all stay in those form of massive homes? only yet another liberal attempt to enhance the hollow between the wealthy and the undesirable. as though we don't already pay sufficient in taxes whilst it includes gas! i don't be conscious of approximately you yet I even have observed presently there is an exceptionally aggressive flow to push up the socialistic schedule and to enhance the hollow between the wealthy and the undesirable. the hot tobacco tax and FDA takeover is yet another massive push because of the fact regardless what the media loves to portray, the biggest share of people who smoke comes from undesirable to center type. an identical with the greater advantageous gasoline tax, that too may be funded on the whole via the undesirable to center type.

its a form of making money, 3.05 is not the amount of per gallon look, i'll wip out some math from back in the day.
$3.05 = 9/10
10
_____
$3.05
which means for every 10th gallon your paying 0.305 which means the actuall amont of gallon of gas is
$3.35,
they think they can get away with everything, charge 3.35 for a gallon og gas is not cool.

It's just like charging $4.99 for something, it's only a penny away from $5.00, they just do it to make it look cheaper.

They are using psychology on us(or so they think). They think that makes us think it is cheaper. After all, doesn't $305.9 sound cheaper than $3.06? It is dumb, I know, but that is the reason.
