I just use place-rounding for that. It's funny, though, that you can enter 3 decimal places for the cost, but not for the fuel reading.
In the case of your entry above, I'd have rounded to 11.24, more likely to 11.25.
Usually, I round the mileage down, and the gallons per fill up. It's only ever by 1/10 or 1/100, so the variance is well within noise.
