That's their crazy way of sneaking/snatching another $.009 (9/10 of another
penny) per gallon from your wallet - their way of taking another penny per
gal from you without you realizing it. They seem to think we're too stupid
to see that $2.90 9/10 per gal. as $2.91 per gallon, which I do.
The bills are cheaper to ship than coins.
Come to think of it, if you'll pay 'em I'll ship you my bills. Start with my
mortgage.

Well, I went into sudden cardiac arrest. My heart quit beating and the heart

It means that the gas companies get free money each time someone does
not land on a whole cent.
If you buy 1 gallon, it is $2.909, but we don't track tenths of
cents, so you pay $2.91... Three gallons are $8.787, so that becomes
$8.79, etc...
I do not believe that they ever round down,
