Enough with the fractional gas prices

The editorial writers over at The (Fredericksburg) Free Lance-Star have a great suggestion for Virginia gas stations. Drop the .9 cents on the price of a gallon of gas. They argue it doesn't make sense when a gallon costs more than $4.

Maybe the General Assembly could pass a bill requiring whole-cent pricing when they meet next week. It's not like they're going to do anything about transportation.

Yes, the 9/10 cent is silly. However, there are much better and more important things for the GA to spend their time on. This is not harming anyone, it is not deceptive, and does not require legislative action.
