If you lop off a testicle though, they will accept this as payment for a gallon of gas. Testicle! Same as ca$h!!

Only one testicle? Pretty good deal these days.

There's a gas station right by where I work that advertises the low price, and in vewy, vewy, vewy small text 'for cash', with a significant additional gouge for plastic.

Scumbags. The first, and last, time I stopped there, realised my mistake, I bought $2.00 worth of gas.
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?

Well, if the price on a barrel of oil shoots back up... :unsure: :hair: :weeping: It's totally nuts.

There's one near us that offers a 6 cents a gallon discount for cash.

Recently, they upped the discount ot 10 cents a gallon.

There's always, always a line at that gas station. It has the cheapest prices in the neighborhood, by far.

I buy all my gas with a credit card, it is about the only purchases I do use a card for, and I noticed one chain charging .17 extra per gallon for crdit card purchases. I was buying 50% of my gas from them till I noticed the extra charge now I buy zero. I buy 99% of my gas from 3 different stations now, I couldn't tell you if they charge extra for CC payments or not.

Visa and Mastercard will cancel their agreements with stores that charge extra for CC.

They can get around it by calling it a cash discount though.

There was a chinese food store that gave a 14% discount for cash. (the exact rate for sales tax at the time) They were obviously just pocketing the cash and not claiming it.
