ALL GAS STATIONS OWE YOU MONEY

Name: Anonymous 2006-10-31 19:43

Look at the price, whenever you go get gas next time.  The price always has that little '9' next to it, meaning 9 thousandths of a dollar (or 9 tenths of a cent).  For example, if gas is 2.25 where you live, look more closely, it's actually 2.259. 

However, assume you get exactly 1 gallon of gas.  You are charged 2.60, not 2.259.  The gas station has cheated you.

One gallon may not be a big deal, but multiply it by the number of times you have filled up in a lifetime.  Multiply that further by the number of times EVERYONE in America alone has filled up at the gas pump.

CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FTW

My math is off in that statement (it should be 2.26 not 2.60 - bad eyesight) but you get my point.

Let's see, if you buy say, 10 gallons at the same time at that cost, it would be 22,60. They can't round that up to anything. And how many of you people REALLY buy gas one gallon at a time?

Total fail.

You'd lose the case.

yeah but i bet you can't pump exactly 10 gallons, even with your uber gas pumping skillz

Wasn't my point. The point is that they don't round it up or down from every gallon, they round it from the final cost.
