The extra comma is known as the Oxford comma. Its use is optional. I use it only where there may be some confusion without it.

You are unlikely to get a consensus on this one. While I advise always using the extra comma, others are equally adamant that it should not be used.

No kidding! I lived my whole life without ever using an extra comma in such a simple case. It was only when I joined this Forum that I encountered people who did.
