I guess that each station owner came up with his own solution. I recall pumps that had a "1." pasted on in front of the cents.

I do remember pump displays with the windows notched to the left to
indicate more than 99.9 a gallon. Those must have been the first pumps to be
converted.

A very informal survey, and I probably won't even keep track.
How many of you remember when the price of gasoline went above $1.00?
Do you also recall that many stations (most?) had to price the fuel by the
1/2
gallon because their pumps could not show a price higher than 99.9 cents?
So, I guess that is really two questions.
My answer is Y and Y.
Final question.... What year was that?
My answer.. Don't know.
