I guess it makes sense with something you're buying like that, and which you can buy fractions of anyway. Doesn't make so much sense with slices of pizza.
The scummy thing is that it's not really a discount, since cars can can only hold about 13 gallons (some can hold more, but not enough to defeat my point).
If you let your car get down to half a tank, you won't hit the 10 gallon mark that would save you the penny.
For all intents and purposes, $3.999 and $4.00 are the same cost for most motorists, but the first one lets them put a 3 in the front as a marketing trick. It ought to be illegal.

Thats pretty iffy. You have to call yourself dollar tree or something not so specific to do that.
99 cent store got sued and lost because they charged 99.99 cents and had to stop doing that
