advice needed

[Vanderhoofven]

Dear Frank,

If I use my Accu-tuner, the display only goes to 1/10 of a cent, not 1/100
of a cent like the RCT.  So, does it make a difference if I round up or
round down to the nearest 1/10 of a cent?  I know it is an infinitesimal
difference, but I am just wondering.

Thanks,
David
