Stop petrol stations charging .9p (or other decimal points) for fuel.
It has become the norm for the "point nine of a p" to be used by petrol stations of all sorts - independents, big chains and supermarkets. It's simply irritating and a silly way of trying to trick people into thinking £1.43.9 isn't really £1.44.
I would like it stopped because this every day, kind-of-a-con, should not be ubiquitous. Nothing can be bought for point anything of a pence so why can a litre of fuel be offered for sale at a price containing a fraction of a penny? It shouldn't. It's a simple thing that should be legislated off the forecourts.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.
Decisions about what prices to charge for fuel are a matter for individual retailers, not the Government or House of Commons.
As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.
