In much of the U.S., one thinks they pay $3.52, or 352 cents per gal. (for example) for gas. But they often pay 352.9 cents per gallon.
If one buys 15 gal. of gas— They think they should pay 5,280 cents, or $52.80. However, they pay 5293.5 cents. Rounded up, that is $52.94 – 14 cents more.
They give the gas station an extra $2.10 that might not have realized they would just glancing at the price at the pump (if they fill their tank 15 times a year).
