What about gas prices? Why do we, as a country, put up with "$2.59 9/10" as a price? It's ridiculous.

The quirky gas prices date back to a time when gas cost $0.25/gallon, so the 24 & 9/10 cents was a significant margin increase (vs 24 cents) on a product that was, and is, a low margin product (at least at retail).
