Why do gas prices end in the extra 9 ie. $2.839?
                     
 




Mr. S
When dealing with astronomical record-breaking profits, rest assured that any act or omission is in furtherance of the bottom line..

It's all about retail pricing psychology. For example, take a look at the follow two prices. What's your first and immediate impression?

$9.99
$10.00

It's been shown time after time in surveys that $9.99 appears to be much less than $10.00.

To make it look cheaper than it is.

To deceive the consumer. When the price is like that, the consumer says "Oh, it's $2.83" but over the course of a day, week, or lifetime, that extra 9/10 of a cent adds up to a lot of cash.

The difference isn't for the consumer who only pumps 12 gallons a week it is for the retailer. Revenues will be significantly different depending on the thousandth (.00x) since they can pump out thousands of gallons a day.

What consumer thinks, "Oh for 2.83 its a steal but 2.84, now that's just outrageous"?

good friggin question.

it must be cos elasticity of demand for gas is so high. A 3 cent difference in two stations across the street from each other is astronomical in people's minds... even when the total difference for 20 gallons is less than it costs to make a phone call nowadays.


dcholsted
I believe that there is a tax on the gas that is $.XX9 cents and that results in all prices being $X.XX9.
