IM just wondering if anyone has started to see this happening where they live. . . Gas stations are now offering two price points one if you pay cash and another more expensive per gallon price to use your credit card. . . I've seen it be as much as a .20cent difference. It started with just a few stations and is now becoming a trend with most around here. . . Any one else seeing this???

Yep. I've seen that a few times here.

Ditto. I remember one gas was $1.99 and everyone held their breath praying it didn't go over $2.00. Now, I'm excited to see $4.18.

I got a little excited today when I saw gas had dropped to $3.92/gal. That means I will be paying about $4.18/gal for premium. To fill my tank will be less than $60!!

I saw $3.68 for cash today. This brings up the same question that I had last year when prices spiked and then came down some. When it was first more than $3.50, mentally, we freaked out. Then it spiked up over $4 and we TRULY freaked. Then they lower it some and we don't feel so bad about paying $3.68. Do they do this purposefully to make us mentally adjust to a much higher price? After all, $3.68 is still more than a dollar higher than it was 6 months ago.
