Can a tire really explode if you put too much air in it ?
It is the same idea as pricing something at $99.99. Why not make it $100? Well, $99.99 sounds much cheaper.

If the stated price for a gallon of gas is $2.49&9/10 the 9/10 means your paying $2.49 and 9/10th's of a cent per gallon.I've always understood it to mean 9/10 of a cent, so when the sign reads $2.30, it basically means $2.31
Switching From Conventional Oil to Synthetic?
9 tenths of a cent so if gas is 2.99 and 9/10 you're pretty much payin 3 bucks a gallon but you are saving one cent for every 10 gallons you pump.Why they do it I don't knowHow much do Tires Cost to Replace? (89 Camry)?
It mean that you are basically paying another cent for gasoline. Not that it really matters because you are paying that extra cent at every station, so the comparison is the same.they do this to make the price look lower, because 2.99 seems much lower than 3.00. Im not really sure why, but i guess it is mental?
9/10ths of a cent more than the actual price. Just like $1999 seems like a whole lot less than $2000, $2.189 seems a whole lot less than $2.190
Yes, everyone else who answered said what I was going to say-- it's the gas companies' way of tricking you into thinking that you are paying less than you really are-- only it's not a trick-- the price is boldly displayed, but we don't think about it carefully enough.
Does belt tension make any noises in the engine?
All it means is that the gas station operator is making an extra 9/10ths of a cent off of you. Most people don't even look at the 9/10 after the price. And all of these gas stations are making a nickel a gallon on gas ?? Any time that prices go up, that is what they say. I say they are full of crap. They are all in cahoots and we just get bent over and have the pump shoved up our ***.What can you use to get a big dent out of a truck?
It means 9 tenths of a cent. It is just a clever ruse to make people think they are spending a penny lower than the price. for example $3.99 9/10 for gas tries to make think you are paying less than $4.00 a gallon for gas. The 9/10th really adds up when the company is selling thousands, or millions of dollars worth of the item. I think that breaking of a cent into tenths start back in the 1930's or 1940's when the government used it for collecting taxes but it could have been even before that time.It means that station owners assume their customers are complete idiots who think $2.49.9 is really cheaper than $2.50
