Lots of $x.52 charges at the gas pump now! Turn-about's fair play, no?
Good stories, anyone?

I cant imagine its even worth your time to mess around with such a small and insignificant number. Are you really gonna stop the pump at .51 to net less than a 1/2 mile per transaction.
Follow my logic: If you do this 40 times a month you net 20 miles
20/month x in just 1,250 months (104 years)you'll get that free trip to Des Moines, IA you were always looking for.
Seriously its not even worth provoking a thought.
