Significance

The question really is how "significant" is that digit???

One-thousanth of a gallon? I don't think the pump is that accurate for one. One-hundreth seems to be sufficient to just round it using common rounding rules.

In addition, all data before such a change would need be considered inferior due to the additional digit.

Personally, the fourth digit is moot.
