...in at least 15 years - cash price/credit price at a BP Fuels/Amoco outside of Langhorne, PA: Regular = $3.99 Credit Price = $4.07. Sheesh, a lot of people are paying with credit cards these days as it's pretty inconvenient to carry around large amounts of cash. I recently filled my girlfriend's car and handed the guy a fifty! Not too long ago, it would've been a twenty and I'd have received change!

Replying to: gagrice (Jun 02, 2008 4:56 am) They haven't hit us with extra charges for credit. That would throw my ol' calculator off. I buy all my gas on a credit card that pays me 5% rebate. If they want to start eating that up I'd have to consider where my "it's not worth it" point is.

Replying to: fezo (Jun 02, 2008 6:49 am) I think it is an ARCO California thing. I go to the ARCO right across the border in Yuma AZ and they take CC and are always cheaper than the stations in CA. The ones that charge to use a CC have it posted on their signs. They are also the most expensive stations in town. They are Spirit Gas. I think it is a Russian company. Putin probably owns them  Last Friday they were at $4.49 and the ARCO across the street was $4.03.

Replying to: gagrice (Jun 02, 2008 8:47 am) We used to have loads of those two tiered pricing stations but it's been a long time. Of course it's also been a long time since we had Arco stations as well. They folded up their tent in the east maybe 20 years ago. They were the first people that offered me a credit cars - maybe my junior year of college. It seemed Shell bought up all the Arcos out here but the ones I knew have now closed up altogether. |

...when the card reader on the pump is defective and it reads SEE ATTENDANT. Not in these days of identity theft! I'm paranoid about handing the waiter a credit card in a restaurant! I dig in and pay cash at that point. I fill my cars when they get to about 3/4 tank these days. I doesn't hurt as much if you take the pain a little at a time. I can't see putting in $100 of fuel all at once! |

Replying to: gagrice (Jun 02, 2008 12:36 pm) I'm with you on handing someone I don't know my CC. The new Shell station I have been going to since I got my Shell card, has the latest pumps. They are very modern with a TV showing the news and traffic live. One of the first times I used pump #1 it did not print a receipt. I went in and the clerk printed one for me. Next time I went to pump one and same thing no receipt. When I went in to get a receipt the girl says yeah it prints out on pump 11. So I head over to pump 11 and here is a string of receipts from several customers including mine. I tell you that did not give me a good feeling as it has your name and the last 4 digits on your CC. |

Filled up at the BP in Titusville, NJ for the first time in over a week. I was expecting it to be over $4 but lucky for me, It's still below. Don't know how much longer it'll last. Unleaded . . . . $3.89 Regular . . . . . $4.01 Premium . . . . $4.10 When I went up to the Poconos during the Memorial Day Weekend, We filled up my SE-R in Jackson, NJ for $3.75 at the Sunoco on our way back home. Had to use my giftcard. |
