Have you ever wondered why gasoline prices always seem to end with 0.9 of a cent? It’s one of those peculiar details we often overlook, yet it has a fascinating history.
There was a time when gasoline taxes were less than a cent per gallon. To incorporate these taxes into the price, gas sellers began adding fractional cents. For example, if the tax on a gallon of gas costing 49 cents was 0.25 of a cent, the price would be displayed as $0.4925. Despite taxes today being much higher than a single cent per gallon, this practice of fractional pricing has stuck around, becoming a customary part of our daily lives.
This concept of breaking down and understanding the finer details of everyday life is something we embrace in the "Share Your Life's Journey With Me" book series. Just like the intricate history behind gas pricing, each of our guided journals explores the deeper meanings and stories within our own lives. Whether it's a memory keepsake for parents or a spiritual exploration with God, our series invites you to delve into your personal journey, one detail at a time.
