Why do the gas stations continue to use the 9/10 at the end of the gas price?? I mean, why not just round it up that other 1/10 of a cent? It's not like someone' gonna say, "Ahh hell no! I ain't gettin' my gas there! They're a whole 1/10 of a cent higher than the other guy!!"

What is the whole point of the 9/10?
 
its a psychological thing.. at this point since everyone else does it, you can't just round up or your prices will look like they are a cent higher when in reality its 1/10th of a cent higher.
 
I don't know if I buy the psychological bit for this one. I mean would you really go to a different station for gas if one was listing the price at $2.32/gal instead of $2.31 9/10?? I just can't see that as a factor. It's different when you're talking about 100's or 1000's of dollars but not mere cents.

yes, if you are at an intersection with a gas station on EVERY corner and three of them are 2.33 and one is 2.32 they will be more likely to get more customers.. even if its just 1 customer more per week its worth it don't you think?

No. Have you ever actually figured out what the difference in savings is on some of these gas prices? I figured it out the other day, on a 30 gal fill up, if someones price is 5 cents cheaper/gal, I only save $6.00 per tank. Really not very much.

$6.00 per tank is significant bro.. you could go pick up a burger or rent a DVD with that.. or buy some karma on here.

believe me, a 1 cent difference in prices makes a different for gas stations in a big way

$6.00 X 100 fill ups = $600.00

Considering I only have to fill up once every two weeks that's only $156 for me. I guess it all depends on how much driving you do and your fuel economy.

i saw it, but 6.00 per fill up HELPS my argument so I let it go.

bro if 156 aint that much to you, go ahead and sent me it for xmas

lol....I saw $6.00 per tank but I failed to actually take in and process the whole sentence.

Seems like I should have caught that anyway.

lol...Clark, do you think I could have this chair? I think I can fumigate it. It's a real nice chair.

Well, if that cat had nine lives, I believe she just spent them all.

Now that you mention it, I should stop by Best Buy tomorrow and see if they have a copy.
 
Eddie: "And, this here's aur pride and joy, Snots."
Clark: "Pretty name Ed."
Eddie: "Yeah, we named him that because he's got this sinus condition. Snots, you roll over and let Uncle Clark scratch you belly. You ain't never seen a set on a dog like this one's got, clark."
Clark: "That's okay, Eddie."
Eddie: "That's something, ain't it? You pet him, Clark, on the belly and, he'll love you till the day you die."
Clark: "I really shouldn't. My hands are all chapped."


Clark: "Hey! Get out of there! Snots! Yo!"
Eddie: "Oh, don't worry about it Clark. A little tree water ain't going to hurt him. Before we left, he drank half a quart of Penzoil. Boy, when he lifted his leg the next morning, whoa!"


Eddie: "He's cute, ain't he? Only problem is, he's got a little bit of Mississippi leg hound in him. If the mood catches him right, he'll grab your leg, and just go to town. You don't want him around if you're wearing short pants if you know what I mean. A word of warning though: If he does lay into you, it's best to just let him finish."

Clark: "So, when did you get the tenament on wheels?"
Eddie: "Oh, that uh, that there's an RV. Yeah, yeah, I borrowed it off a buddy of mine. He took my house, I took the RV. It's a good looking vehicle, ain't it?"
Clark: "Yeah, it looks so nice parked in the driveway."
Eddie: "Yeah, it sure does. But, don't you go falling in love with it now, because, we're taking it with us when we leave here next month."
 
Cathrine: "We were going to call. But, Eddie wanted to make it a surprise."
Eddie: "Yeah, you surprised?"
Clark: "Surprised Eddie? If I woke up tomorrow with my sewn to the carpet, I wouldn't be more surprised than I am rigt now."

Clark: "You're pretty set so far as shopping goes?"
Eddie: "Well, I can't lie to you Clark. The truth is, things ain't going too good at all. You know I told you I borrowed the RV from my neighbor? Nope. It's mine. We live in it. I had to sell off the house, the barn, the ten acres. All I kept was a 50-foot plot, the pigs and the worm farm. If only I had back the money that me and Cathrine sent that TV preacher that was screwing the hockey players."
Clark: "What about the kids?"
Eddie: "His kids can fend for themselves. I don't even..."
Clark: "No, your kids."
Eddie: "Oh, well, that's the bitch of it. Se, I don't know what to do. We coasted into town on fumes. The gas money give out in Gurnee. "
Clark: "Eddie, Ellen and I want to help you give the kids a nice Christmas."
Eddie: "Oh Clark, I couldn't do that."
Clark: "No, no, we insist."
Eddie: "Oh, no; I'm not one for charity, now."
Clark: "Oh, I know that Eddie. This isn't charity; it's family."
Eddie: "Ooh, I don't know about that."
Clark: "Now, come on; if you don't tell me what they want, I,ll go out and get it on my own."
Eddie: "Oh boy, this is a surprise Clark. This is just a real nice surprise. Just a real nice surprise. Here's a little list. Alphabetical, starting with Cathrine. And if it wouldn't be too much, I'd like to get something for you Clark. Something really nice."
 
Clark: "This is a new non-caloric silicon-based kitchen lubricant my company has been working on. It creats a surface 500 times more slippery than any cooking oil. Ahhh! We're really going to fly down the hill with this stuff."
Russ: "Has anyone ever used it on a sled?"
Clark: "Not that I know of, Russ."
