I’ve written before about how much the high gas prices are cramping my style, even though they have been dropping lately.
And I don’t mean the following to be taken as an endorsement for the current prices. They are still way too high.
But, the other day I stopped to fill up at the Citgo on Route 30 at the intersection of Fairlane Road.
Not only is gas there a couple cents cheaper than most other places I’ve seen, but there are two prices. If you pay in cash, it’s about another five cents cheaper than that.
Last time I drove by, the regular price was $2.89, but the pay-with-cash price was $2.85.
How cool is that?
Has anyone else seen gas stations that are doing anything similar? This is the first one I’ve seen like that.
There is always at least one gas station in a town that does that. Its because there is a 4% service fee charged to a merchant for charging your credit card, and thus if they can get cash for it, its actually cheaper for them.
(i.e. the cash gas place down on East West in College Park...)
