Some people have to budget how much gas they can fill at once. Maybe the budget allows for $30 a week, so they stop at $30, or in OP’s case something random like $28.73.
Alternatively, if you prepay at the counter, instead of handing them an even $30, you could hand them $29.39
When I pump gas, I don’t end on an even dollar amount or anything. I just…stop.
I’m not following, how is this sticking it to the man?
Let me ask you this: when you pump gas, do you stop on an even dollar amount?
I always fill my tank completely because that gives me longer range and fewer trips to gas stations. So it rarely ends up being an even dollar amount.
The numbers move so quickly that I’m not even sure how it’s possible to stop on an even dollar amount unless you go inside and prepay?
So - you don’t wait until the nozzle clicks or anything? Just arbitrarily stop pumping?
Yeah, but I rarely fill up all the way regardless.
