Buy more or less using a metered pump with variable pricing like currently used? You have been buying fuel at XX 9/10 dollars per volume for years, HOWEVER, I Havent paid cash without pre authorization in the last 20 years. Pump shuts off by itself typically on an even dollar number. Haven't tried to buy just a quarters worth or just exactly 1gallon, all my fuel cans are at least 2 1/2. Either way you'd be looking at about a partial gram of fuel. I find more fuel in the nozzle after someone overfills their tank

Credit card/ fuel card wouldn't care using same scenario,.


Remember way back in the '70s in ST Louis they rounded everything to the nickle during a penny crisis. Sometimes you made out, but in the long run it averaged out the same and gas was pocket change compared to today. Iirc it was something like $50 to cross country LA to Chanute afb Illinois.
