Isn't it only quoted over the radio for values < 1000?

Anyway bar is no longer directly related to atmospheric pressure, it was redefined equivalent to 100,000 pascals so really has no relevance anymore.

In so doing its value was reduced by 1.3%, which is why a 'standard atmopshere' is 1013 hPa and not 1000.
