Gas stations price to the tenth of a penny per gallon. There is no 1/10 cent coin. Works fine.

That's because the law requires them to charge that extra 9/10. It's silly.

It doesn’t require it. There may still be (I dunno) fixed per-gallon taxes in the tenth-penny-per-gallon range, but stations aren’t forced to handle it the way they do.
