The $1.2 Billion Mystery: Why We’re Taking On the 9/10¢ Gas Price

• Every driver in America has seen it.

• Every gas station displays it.

• Almost no one questions it.

  
  

That strange little 9/10 of a cent tacked onto every gallon of gas — a relic from 1932 — quietly drains more than $1.2 billion from Americans every single year. And now, Cancel9/10gas is launching a brand‑new video series to expose exactly what that means for real people.

Welcome to “The $1.2 Billion Mystery.”

🎥 A New Series With a Simple Mission

Each episode of “The $1.2 Billion Mystery” takes that massive annual total and asks a simple question:

What could this money do if it stayed in the pockets of everyday Americans instead of disappearing into a pricing loophole from the Great Depression?

In the very first episode, we follow a schoolteacher — someone who represents the heart of our communities — and explore how her life could change if even a fraction of that $1.2 billion stayed with people like her.

This isn’t just about math.

It’s about fairness, transparency, and a system that hasn’t been updated in nearly a century.

🕰️ Why 9/10ths Exists in the First Place

The 9/10¢ add‑on began in 1932, when the federal government introduced a 1‑cent tax on gasoline, which at the time cost about 10 cents per gallon. Retailers responded by adding fractional pricing to soften the blow.

That was 94 years ago.

• Cars have changed.

• The economy has changed.

• Gas prices have changed.

• But the 9/10ths?

• It’s still here — quietly generating billions.

  
  

💡 Why This Series Matters

Cancel9/10gas has one clear goal:

Reach 3 million subscribers so we can pressure big oil to finally drop the 9/10ths.

This isn’t a political campaign — it’s a consumer fairness movement. The more people who understand the scale of this hidden cost, the harder it becomes for the industry to ignore.

Each episode will highlight a different person or profession — teachers, nurses, truck drivers, single parents, small business owners — showing how meaningful this money could be if it weren’t lost to a pricing trick from another era.
