The $4,000 at the pump thing made me wonder when they are going to
finally drop the 9/10 of a cent, if ever. I mean, at one point in
time, 9/10 of a cent was non-trivial compared to the price of the
total gallon. Now, the 9/10 is, what? Less than 1/3 of 1%?

At least a couple: first saw it in an e-mail from a former co-worker
while still working in Kirksville.

I've been laughing at the continued use of the 9/10 cent for over 25
years, since gas first cracked the $1 mark.

It's a gimmick. 2.999 you see $2..99 not $3.00

I could swear that at one point, maybe when I drove cross-country in
`06, I bought a tank of diesel at an integral number of cents per
gallon. TMK it only happened the one time.

Back in the Nixon price control era, we got weird prices like x.xx.3
or x.xx.7
