Dude. Gas is a commodity. You don't give up a commodity over a penny.

OP is absolutely right and you are overcomplicating it.
Yeah, you and OP are better at this than the gas companies are.

ceding a penny advantage to their competitors.

They're trying to get you in the store to buy a single can of dip or an wildly overpriced Monster.

What about 1/10 of a penny? Also when my local gas station fluctuates 30 cents daily (slight exaggeration) and there is no competitor super close, who could it possibly matter?
