Started out as taxes set at .9 cents per gallon. Station owners passed the tax on. And $.199/gal is a much easier sell than $.20/gal. Even if the station would keep the extra .1 cent they’d lose sales to other stations. And the pumps don’t register the tenth of a cent. But you used to be able to run the pump really slow and see the partial gallons go up before the cent amount changed. The games I played in high school.
