What meaning do the question marks have?

Unfortunately, I am afraid this question is an issue of Japanese culture that does not have any connection to the Japanese language. Unless you can rephrase it to make such a link, I will have to close it. But perhaps somebody will be able to help you in the chat or in meta. – Dave♦ Jun 26 '11 at 8:14

You think it's an issue of culture or you know it's an issue of culture? It could be an issue of one crazy petrol station for all I can tell but if you know why not share while closing? – hippietrail Jun 26 '11 at 8:19
@hippietrail: sorry, didn't mean to imply I knew the meaning of that (if I had to take a guess, I'd say it's just one lazy station attendant who can't be arsed updating the decimal every day)... But regardless of the answer, I cannot see any link to Japanese language (even the link to culture might be tenuous). Of course I'll be happy to hear counter-arguments... – Dave♦ Jun 26 '11 at 9:56
PS: @garrett, sorry for the abrupt closing. Actually, I meant to only cast a closing vote and give it a little time before closing... but as an admin, it turns out my vote is definitive. As I said, though: I welcome any dissenting opinion on that closing (and will re-open if there are good arguments for it)... – Dave♦ Jun 26 '11 at 9:59
I did think there was at least a tiny chance it might be linguistic. As it turns out I would say it's neither linguistic nor cultural but definitely off-topic. – hippietrail Jun 26 '11 at 10:08
