Re: 9/10 of a cent
[ QUOTE ]
nobody rounds up when they r just checking the prices because all the gas stations do it. so it doesn't make a diference if u compare 3.299 to 3.219 or 3.30 to 3.22.

No, the gas stations do not round up, at least not in the dozen or so states where I've bought gas.
I have noticed that most places actually describe the price of a gallon using decimals for the pennies and fractions for the nine tenths of a cent. Instead of seeing $3.509 per gallon, you will see $3.50 9/10 per gallon. It is a visual trick becuase most people don't "see" the fraction as part of the price.
