The Issue

I've always felt cheated each time I pulled up to a gas station and saw the prices displayed: $3.29 9/10 per gallon. Throughout my journey as a driver, ever since I got my first car, this minor and seemingly insignificant fraction has always irked me. The deeper my understanding grew, the clearer it became that this isn't just a minor inconvenience but a deliberate tactic to mislead consumers. This small and almost invisible fraction of a cent adds up to massive profits for oil companies while continuously deceiving honest, hardworking citizens like us.

The origins of this pricing scheme date back decades, since about 1932, a time when such an approach may have made a difference in consumer choice. However, in today's world, where transparency and honesty are valued above all, it's absurd to retain such outdated practices. It's not just me; countless drivers across the country share the same frustration. We have a right to know the actual price of gasoline.

With the relentless rise in gas prices affecting everyone, isn't it only fair for the pricing to be truthful and reflective of what we genuinely pay? By eliminating the deceptive 9/10ths of a cent pricing, we not only bring clarity but also simplicity for millions of consumers who pay billions annually.

Total Annual Revenue: It is estimated that the 9/10 cent addition generates between $1.2 billion and $1.3 billion in extra revenue annually for the U.S. gasoline industry.

An analysis published by the Oil Price Information Service indicates that removing this fraction would result in greater transparency and trust between consumers and gasoline providers. It's a necessary move towards straightforward and honest pricing. We, as hard working, tax paying Americans deserve the truth!!!

Join me in demanding transparency and fairness from gasoline providers across the United States. Let us push for the complete elimination of this fractional pricing tactic. Your signature can bring us one step closer to this essential change. Sign this petition today and be a part of the movement for truth in gasoline pricing.
