Friday humor: Record high gas prices shock small town
Once again showing just how important the placement of a decimal point can be is the sign that you see above. Seen on the billboard for a Citgo gas station in Florida, the sign should have read $3.15 as opposed to $31.59. According to the accompanying news story, motorists were so interested that they stopped on the side of the road to snap a few pictures, which, rather ironically, is a total waste of gas. Still, with the ever-increasing price of a barrel of oil, we are sure to see signs like the one above prove accurate before the end of our lifetime! Thanks for the tip, Aaron!

I've never seen how gas prices are displayed in the states. Wow... this 9/10 thing is such a scam. I imagine that's a pretty permament number and it's barely noticable at a glance.
Reminds me of the huge retail "75% off" signs with a micro print "up to".
