I bought gas this morning on the way to work. The price for regular was $3.49 9/10. What the heck is the 9/10 about?????
Back when Kilowatt or RELH were teenagers I could see the reason. I mean $.24 9/10 a gallon was a heck of a savings over $.25. A twenty gallon purchase was $4.98 instead of $5.00. Back then Kilowatt would have walked two miles to save a penny!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
But today it just insults our intelligence. Give me a break!
If you buy one gallon it will cost you $3.50 anyway.
"Oh look Honey, we saved so much money on gas we can afford to go to the movies!" Give me a break! Just be a man about it and charge $3.50!
Sorry to rant. I'll be over it by Christmas. (I think)
