+166 It's weird when a price ends in a fraction. For example, gas prices that end in nine-tenths: I'm pretty sure I can't cut this penny/cent into 10 pieces and have it withhold its value, so buying exactly one gallon of gas must be impossible, amirite?

There's a really cool mathematical thing called rounding!

You wouldn't be paying for EXACTLY one gallon of gas then, would you?

It's so it looks like you're paying a penny cheaper per gallon than you really are.

Haha, I know. I do my research before I post. It also has to do with the Great Depression. It still just strikes me as an odd thing to do.

Is there anything else besides gas that is fractionally priced?

Because you're a stupid person.
