That 9/10 of a cent used to be the tax. That allowed the accountants to easily calculate the taxes on the books... Remember; they used to use pencils and ledger books....
When the taxes went above .9 that should have been the time that they changed the pumps to get rid of it. Yeah, the cost would offset the idea...
Also, that's .9 it's almost an extra cent for every gallon. That's how they get their taxes without hurting the customer too much. That $1.29 a gallon is actually very close to $1.30.
Now the taxes are more in the .17 to .25 range
so the .9 means nothing except to add that 1 Cent to the price.
