Earliest record of 200mph production car?

Its a marketing tatic. When you see that last nine, you drop it. So when they say 2.099, you read it as 2.09 a gallon. But it is actually closer to 2.10 a gallon. So, when filling up and you put exactly 10 gallons you pay 20.99. But, if that meter clicks over just enough, you are paying 21.00. Its only a penny difference, but those pennies will add up.
