Yes, I know that the fraction of a cent might have once been useful when fuel cost ~$0.20 per gallon and stations charged extra for taxes.
Yes, I know that it's a trick such that people read the larger digits and ignore the smaller ones, to somehow make the fuel appear ~$0.01/gal cheaper.
That doesn't make it less gay. Plus every gas station's prices end in 9/10, so nobody's saying, "Oh, this station is $0.001 cheaper per gallon than the other one." The difference in price per gallon between stations is always $0.01 or greater. There is no competitive edge to using that pricing model if everyone does it.
I always round up. When the sign shows $4.059 I say it's $4.06 because that's what it fucking is. Only a retard thinks it's "$4.05".
