I just stopped at a BP station to fill up the gas tank, a stop that cost me $56.98. That's pretty good I guess, considering that it wasn't very long ago that it cost me $70 to fill up.
But it could have — and should have — been cheaper. However, I failed to notice the 10-cent price differntial for credit cards.
I need to pay more attention.

Yeah, I noticed the 10c differential is becoming rather commonplace. Since I use an Amex card with a 3% kickback, I figure eventually I get exactly 10c back as a rebate. In CA, I found Arcos that just wouldn\’t take credit cards, only debit cards, and they were remarkably cheaper than the competition. Perhaps that trend will arrive too. Can\’t say I blame gas stations for marking up the credit card fees!
