Don't forget, major parts of the US use 20 kHz channel spacing, so
146.55 MHz is not a standard simplex frequency in those regions. It
turns out 146.58 MHz is good for both 15 kHz and 20 kHz band plans.

Personally, I have always looked at FM simplex portion of the bands as
being 5kHz spacing regardless of what the state repeater plan is.

That is why I have my radio memories set up for the simplex sub-bands
on 10kHz spacing.  As I am scanning I will be able to hear someone
that is either 5 kHz up or down 5kHz from me twice unless they are
really a long distance away.
