It was about 40 cents, I've never seen the credit price per gallon that much higher.

I always thought it was illegal to charge different prices based on payment method, I guess I was wrong cuz every gas station does that now
I live right by there. That guy is SUCH a thief!! I never get gas there!!

And he changes his prices 2 to 3 times a day! I leave in the morning and he'll be $3.87, come home from work and it's $3.98.
You're better off going down to Sunoco over by Trader Joe's. He's always a few cents less than Gulf and same price for cash/charge.

And I think you are right, I believe it was either Al D'Amato or someone had passed a bill making cash/credit the same price. But now we are talking at least 20 years ago :lol: Because D'Amato has been out of office since 1999
So that bill could of expired and was never renewed

since we are all criminals here in california we have to enter our zip code at the pumps. does everyone have to do that? i remember we passed a law outlawing that but something must have happened because they still do it.

i remember the days when you filled up and then paid. i also remember 99 cent gas. :oldtimer:

Paid $4.09 today :banghead:
Just got a new SUV and it's verrrry thirsty but I luckily don't have drive too far on a daily basis. I. Need to get to BJs for gas but it's not very convenient.
And I couldn't believe it when I was in FL last week there was $1.40/gal difference between the gas station closest to the airport and the Wawa 1/4 mile further! $3.89 at Wawa and $5.29 at the other place wtf?

Yeah, it blows my mind when I buy gas in SoCal on a drive to Arizona and once I get into Phoenix or Tuscon, it's like a $1.10 cheaper than in CA. I'm paying about $4 - $4.20 reg unleaded [er gallon depending where I an in Orange County/Long Beach right now.

I love when I go to my friend in NJ and on the way home before hitting the GW bridge I stop on RT 4 at a Sunoco with a smoke shop/Dunkin Donuts.

Gas-cheaper than NY plus it's full service
Cigarettes-cheaper than NY, I buy a carton for $74.00 in NJ, over $100 in NY
And a large ice coffee...

Whoever waits in my car for me always laughs because they say I run out of there with a smile like I just robbed a bank.

I spent years working (on and off) at the same gas station ("I'm not even supposed to be here today." is definitely something I said many times).

You can still pay for your gas first and then pay at a lot of Canadian stations, but it should be changed because it just isn't worth it for the non-union minimum wage workers to have to deal with the assholes who drive off without paying.

$3.09 a gallon here. Looks like its the lowest it has been in a while. Probably a lot better closer to the gulf as well.

I never go there. I did once, realized the card/cash difference and left. I was blown away by the shitty prices. I usually hit up Hess at the corner of Lincoln and Long Beach. If I need beer or anything quick I'll go to the one next to Trader Joes, they're good too.

A friend of mine is in Italy on holidays and said that gas is almost $3/litre.

Wow, that's cheap!

I passed by a gas station today and it is up .02 from a couple of days ago . $1.62/lite. So for a gallon 1.62x3.78 = $6.12!

Yeah there's a lot of oil and refineries here so it tends to be a little cheaper than the US average here. The most expensive I have seen for 87 is $3.14 / gallon so far.
