This is also why gas pumps measure gasoline to the thousandth of a gallon. Consumers LOVE to see those numbers racing upwards and think, "Whoaaaaa! Look at those numbers GO! I must be getting an awesome deal!"

It's a deliberate psychological trick, played on you by energy companies to fool you into thinking you're getting more than you really are.
