Gas prices are quoted to fractions of a penny and then rounded to the nearest cent when a card is swiped. For people paying with cash, rounding to the nearest ten cents isn't that much of a leap.

It's a problem if it's always rounding up. Throwing away the penny also requires legislation enforcing round to nearest.
