I resent the stations that are charging extra for using a credit card. Just drive on and don't participate in their game. They will get the message if enough people do this.
zantwoe Rookie Author Nebraska Posts:33 Points:264,635 Joined:Dec 2011	Message Posted: Apr 21, 2012 2:52:33 PM Ignore zantwoe Report Abuse I use my credit card. More convenient to: - pay at the pump,(don't have to wait in line at the cash register) - get 24 hour fuel at some stations that close at night, - let the bank pay for it for up to 30 days, - I get a receipt, - don't have to leave my truck unattended, - much easier when I have small children that I can't leave in the vehicle, - don't have to worry about the wife driving away without me.

houseofj Rookie Author Cleveland Posts:29 Points:719,855 Joined:Sep 2010	Message Posted: Apr 21, 2012 8:57:11 AM Ignore houseofj Report Abuse Because we are in a credit card world, it is easier to pay with a credit card at the pump! I pay for my gas purchase which is on my credit card within 2 week. If there was a way to pay cash at the pump, I would pay cash.

usgoods Veteran Author Akron Posts:419 Points:147,765 Joined:Sep 2005	Message Posted: Apr 20, 2012 4:46:00 PM Ignore usgoods Report Abuse My credit card pays 5% back on gas. This makes using credit 18 to 20 cents per gallon cheaper. Have not seen any stations offer this kind of discount for using cash. Also prefer to pay at the pump. Only knew of one station that took cash at the pump, and they discontinued it.
