Why does the gas pump always initiate at $0.03? (Vanity)

Someone earlier had mentioned if I OCD much, I guess I do. I have been trying to pump out just 1 cent and have not been able to when the pump is at zero. Yet I can do it at any amount over 3 cents.

Just seemed weird to me, but it seems, given the responses in this thread, that it is probably has something to do with the amount of fuel left in the hose...or not.

Well, it’s past my bedtime. Time to count gas pumps (darn it if those pumps don’t always start at 3) and get to sleep for tomorrow is another day.

My thanks to everyone for their time, insight, and laughs.

Is there any other product in the world, besides gasoline, that is priced to the hundredth of a cent? Why does gasoline cost $2.85 AND 99/100 CENTS? Isn’t it about time we change this ridiculous pricing?

Good question. The first two cents go to the mighty Bilderbergbers.

The Bilderbares are watching you.
