2½ tablespoons of gas is for 2¢
.02¢ gets you only 1/100 of that.

Uh, better check that again.
$2.00 per gallon = $0.0078125 per tablespoon
$0.02 / $0.0078125 = 2.56 tablespoons

$0.02 / $0.0078125 = 2.56 tablespoons

Which is why I originally rounded it to 2½ tablespoons.
But then I noticed he was only offering 0.02¢, not $0.02.
