Every thing you wanted to
know. It's a little dated but you'll get the general idea.
Quote:
Thank you for your purchase of 13.401 gallons of regular unleaded gasoline priced at $1.399/10/gallon.
Rather than the 13.4 gallons + 3/4 teaspoon of gasoline shown on the dispenser meter display, it is more likely that your purchase ranged somewhere between 13.339 and 13.463 gallons.
Because this transaction was for less than 5000 gallons, the gasoline you purchased was not temperature compensated, therefore the energy content is unknown.
Regardless of the fact that it is not possible to accurately measure the amount of your purchase to the nearest 9/10 cent, gasoline has traditionally been priced in this manner.
