jpgredwine Champion Author Hartford Posts:10,287 Points:1,047,405 Joined:Dec 2009	Message Posted: Feb 23, 2010 10:59:49 AM Ignore jpgredwine Report Abuse A few stations around our town offer 5¢ , 6¢ , or 7¢ per gallon of gas. However, they are not even the cheapest gas stations in town no matter what the grade of gas happens to be. ( Of course some clubs or credit cards will offer you an additional percentage or discount and maybe that is the way to go. ) After checking around for price advantage, I've ended up charging my gas purchases to a credit card. So, do you end up buying gas at the CASH discount, if offered (and if it ends up cheaper than a credit card) Or Do you just pay for your gasoline purchase with your credit card ? CASH or CREDIT .... how do you pay for your gasoline purchase ? Then.....if you pay in CASH ... how many pennies ¢¢¢ discount per gallon do you get offered.

CASH or CREDIT .... how do you pay for your gasoline purchase ?

Then.....if you pay in CASH ... how many pennies ¢¢¢ discount per gallon do you get offered.
