How much is your local "Trump at the Pump Tax?"

Standard petrol price is down to $1.74AUD / ltr here now .... but we have a long weekend approaching and this being a tourist town, it will go up for the 4 days or so, then return to what ever the going price is then ......

I believe that is all possible here, and I don't see why a V2L would be treated differently than a stationary battery or generator. It is the affect of regulations I'm clueless about, which will vary by region.

Zoning might require grid hook up here. I'll look into it when the time comes to get a battery.

Since the physical penny is gone, I want digital transactions to move to using the mil.

 

It’s sales tradition not to round up the penny to make the first number stay small. For some reason it does work on the brain to make it seem less. Like now, the 47 tax increase price at the pump is 5.89, 5.99, which seems less than $6 because it’s more a reaction than thinking. If you think, it’s about the same. Like 47 supporters will react “ no pain no gain” or “it’s just for awhile” or the worst “I see $1.89.”

 

Sure, but they can still do that with the last penny on the price - and they usually do.

 

So we need a marketer or AI to explain why most signs of things for sale end with a 9.

 

Plenty of people simply don't see the cents portion of a listed price. $9.99 is processed as $9, which lower to them than $10. It is enough of the population that when JCPenny went to whole dollar pricing and dropped the $.99, it back fired.

 

Costco here is back under $4/gal.

 

lookup speedway affect, it’s $3.79 here but… that may only be a sign of the speedway affect at work

 

AAA is showing multiple States are now in the $3 range this AM :
