It's always been that way but years ago that last 9 was real real small. So like Tony said you only see the $2.99 not $2.99.9. Same reason items in stores are never rounded up to a whole dollar, it's $199.99 instead of $200. People ignore the cents so it looks cheaper. Anyway current law here says that last 9 on gas prices must be at least 1/2 the size of the other numbers.

If the price of gas is $3.16.9 do you see $3.17 or $3.16?
