That's the minimum you may buy (used to be 1/2 a gallon), by
law, due to metering inaccuracies in the pump, so that you
get what you pay for. The minimum amount a pump will dispense
is a tiny squirt.

Really? That'll explain why when I went to a pay-at-the-pump Tesco
forecourt a few weeks ago and it dipsensed about 4-pence worth of petrol
and then stopped, that it never debited my card.
