    Huh, the US gets another layer more confusing. Tax is included in gas prices but not in anything else? How do the arguments for not including that tax in the price stack up when gas stations are already including it?

      Even more annoying, the gas price really has 99/100ths tacked on, so the price is a cent more expensive because no one thinks of it.

      Ie: $3/gal is really charged as $3.0099/gal

        Yeah we have that here too. And 3-4x the impact because of measuring in litres not gallons.

      Tradition.

      Gas prices are also the only retail prices that include tenths of a penny - specifically 9/10, as in all gas prices look like $x.xx9 such as $3.059
