<VV> Gas, Petrol, Benzin etc. costs

No, the 0.9 is miniscule compared to the overall price.  More
importantly, there is already way too much regulation in this country.

Does anybody else wish they would make the gas companies list their 
prices WITHOUT the "(point)9"??  I once read that people tend to ignore 
the right side of a price; which is why a LOT of stuff on TV is quoted 
as "$19.99 - people see the "19" and don't acknowledge  the price as 
$20, they see it as $19...  Anyway, whenever I look at a gas price, I 
just automatically add .01 to what's shown...  anybody else bothered by 
the (semi)false advertising of gas stations??
