You absolutely do not need over 4 significant digits to represent a fuel price.

I'd argue that no price for anything requires more than 3.

    All gas stations (that I have seen) charge you an extra penny per gallon with the 9/10 bullshit.

    It's possible some signs could reuse that space for the real price but i'd guess most electric signage can't.
