7/15 $3.90 at Mountain View YC

Check your receipt before leaving the dock, the pump showed $3.89 when I gassed up. Later that night checking the receipt, it showed $3.90/gal, yeah I know $.001 per gallon difference. is MVYC the only ones that do this?

In this day and age most people don't even take or keep the pennies from change back received. Why would we still be using 9/10 of a cent in a price structure for fuel. 20 gallons is 2 cents different after rounding up.

has to do with rounding up to get the most tax out of us without calling it a full cent of a tax. think of all those 9/10 of a cent times billions of transactions every week. it adds up quick

Obscure reference: the movie office space when the put the virus in and he puts the decimal in the wrong place instead of taking tenths of a cent, they tax too much.

I get gas on the road and the price is always x.xx9, and the receipt always shows the correct price.

It may round up to a few cents (on my boat about 100 gallons), so the way I figure it, that $0.10 is mine, not theirs.
