Only American gas stations. They go so far as to have the 9/10 of a cent fraction as a permanent part of the sign.

French stations too, they’ve introduced the 1.779€ a liter pricing a dozen years ago, so, 4 significant numbers. On a 100€ refill, it’s 10 cents, ie a drop.

Is it always 9/10 of a cent though, or does it vary?

The majority of New Zealand petrol stations display the fractional cent too. Same in Australia from memory.

Oh I didn't know that. They don't do this is Canada. Fuel here is priced to the tenth of a cent (192.5 cents per litre), but it's not fixed to 9/10.

Oh - I misread the comment. It's not fixed - they're all digital.

Apologies.
