Gas Prices

Here is one way to reduce the cost of gas, and if the majority of people did it, it might just hurt the profits of the gas companies--just slow down! Quit gunning it from the stoplight, only to have to stop at the next one. You would be amazed at how much gas this saves, even from a gas guzzler like my SUV, which gets 12 mpg. Just a thought.

A 9/10th of a penny for your thoughts. Isn’t it about time that gasoline companies and stations remove the ridiculous fraction of a cent and round out their pricing to the nearest penny? Don’t we have enough retailers using the ploy of, for example: $1.99 instead of $2, all the way up to the many thousands of dollars, such as $49,999? We’re still going to have to purchase the gas at whatever price they charge, so who are they kidding?
