This whole packaging/refilling issue isn't about raising prices, it's
about the way they go about it. I'm not the ignorant SOB they seem to
think I am. How would you feel if gas pumps started dispensing 3-quart
"gallons" at the same price a full gallon was, without telling you?

I'd feel terrible. But then, I'd really hate myself for not being aware
and paying for three quarts and not getting a gallon, particularly when
the price is plainly stated.

At many gas stations I've seen there's a big, prominent price sign
indicating 2.29 9/10 or whatever, with no indication of gallon, pint or
bowl. How many people read the line on the pump meter which actually says
'gallons'? They see the total price and swipe the card. I only said "3 quart
gallons" to make my point, but if it was 108 oz. gallons, few would notice -
probably thinking the car needs a tune-up. And just for kicks, I wonder
where the 9/10-cent pricing originated.
