traffic cop Champion Author Boston Posts:1,238 Points:532,860 Joined:Oct 2004	Message Posted: Jan 21, 2013 10:27:21 PM Ignore traffic cop Report Abuse I like themusicrabbi's point: if the mobile app could have a box to check, indicating whether the station has unified cash + credit pricing, or a split. Trying to include both prices, especially on the mobile app, would be cumbersome. Just a box to check. I think most people understand that the lower (always cash) price is to be posted, and that credit/debit prices are usually about 10 cents higher.

Titanic1985 Champion Author South Carolina Posts:6,218 Points:355,070 Joined:Dec 2010	Message Posted: Jan 13, 2013 8:56:20 AM Ignore Titanic1985 Report Abuse Good Morning FrankyFL. I always use my cash-back credit card which offers 5% off gasoline purchases, when paid at the pump. At $3.00 a gallon, that is $.15 saved per gallon. In addition, I use E0 Regular 87 Octane gasoline sold at a local truck stop. Their cash and credit prices for this fuel are always the same. Take care :-) . MGY
