Why are petrol stations allowed to advertise fuel at a price that doesn't exist? eg 90.4 pence per litre?
Answers:
Stupid just to buy one litre so why don't they go back to what they had before (to the gallon)
I'm still trying to figure out that 9/10 of a cent crap
they wouldn't let you buy just 1 litre. Its the same as some being 99p why not a pound. It sounds better if it looks that little bit cheaper.
If you look on the pumps there is normally a minimum amout that you must spend. So the price gets rounded up.
But you are right in that some times it is stupid
I generally buy around 50 litres at a time so if they were to sell it at 91p a litre as you are suggesting i will be out of pocket by 30p every time I fill up. Not a lot but it all adds up
it probably spanned from when it was worked out per gallon, who knows but you do have a valid point.
its a rip of when they round up, after all the 1/2 pence went a long time ago..
