same reason stores charge 99 cents instead of a dollar, gives you the impression its a lower price

"The prevalence of nine-tenths of a cent gasoline pricing seems to owe
its existence to several factors:
--a penny used to be worth something
--Uncle Sam wanted a piece of the gasoline action
--People want to *think* they're getting a bargain, even if they know better
--Old habits die hard, and after a while, just get built into the system."
