Worse than the “Sneaker color poll”?

Anytime something doesn't make sense or appears really dumb, that means the government was involved.

Beaurocrats sure do love their taxes.

SNIP:
“We have to go way back to when the oil companies were selling gas for, let’s say, 15 cents, and then the state and federal boards decided they wanted a piece of that to keep the roads going, so they added 3/10 of a cent. And the oil companies said, ‘Well, we’re not going to eat that,’ so they passed that on to the public.”

What I want to know is why, when gas stations are across from on another, one doesn't lower their price an additional tenth of a cent from say $2.29.9 to $2.29.8 just to piss off the other guy.

I like that plan!

Not about the price, but a few years back we got stickers on the pumps here in S.C. with a state trooper on it saying if you drove off and did not pay for your gas you 'could' lose your driver's license. I was totally amazed, I thought if I drove off with out paying and got caught I would not need a license because I would be in jail.....
