Fuck them all. I absolutely do avoid companies that do these things.

    You're telling me you don't fill up your car?

    Every single gas station in the US of A uses a sub-penny pricing scheme. I have not seen a sigle exception yet.

    I don't own a car. I take public transit, bike and walk.

    I appreciate your reply. And I also understand its not 100% black and white - its complicated. But I feel strongly we gotta fight back against bullshit behavior in this world in any way we can if we want people to act better.
