So yesterday I was running a little slow on gas and I knew that the Sunoco on Route 8 was close as a result of the flooding so I went to down Mt. Royal towards Etna where there are the three gas stations in a row (cant remember the first place, citgo, then co-go’s). The first place was 1.85/gal, and citgo was 1.81…so I pull into citgo, whip out the debit/credit card and start pumping the gas. The I look at the gas pump and the fucker says 1.88/gal…im like WTF? So I stop pumping and go in and inquire about this. The lady behind the counter then tells me that there are seperate prices for cash and credit transactions…lame! So I stopped the pump, finished the transaction and started a new one…this time with cash. I hardly ever have cash on me! I just swipe swipe swipe, its soo much easier! I know it also costs places ~3% per transaction for their customers to use credit cards… whatever just a rant. questions / comments welcome. ---

if you shop at Giant eagle with an advantage card, you can save $.10/gal for every $50 you spend at the store. Each time you spend the fitty after that, it keeps going up by $.10. Most I’ve gotten thus far was $.40/gal which made the price $1.59 for 93… ---

Put it all on your card. buy like $2,000 worth of food, bring all your cars and gas them all up for free. :bigthumb: ---

It’s against their agreement with the credit card companies to charge different prices for cash vs cc transactions. contact the credit card companies about this gas station ---

Most I’ve gotten thus far was $.40/gal which made the price $1.59 for 93… We have a Citibank Dividend cc - you get 5% back on gas stations, grocery stores and drug stores, 1% on everything else. So if you get one of those and shop at GE, you get 5% back on the groceries, the gas, plus the coupon. Shop N Save occasionally gives those coupons for Cogo’s. Buy the way, Super Walmart’s are considered grocery stores. ---

We’ve got $.60 per gallon saved up on our Giant Eagle card, and neither of us will buy Giant Eagle gas… That’s about $1.20 for 87. ---

Giant eagle gas is the same as sheetz or whatever. I’d trust giant eagle gas over a BP or a sunoco, Newely installed tanks = no water sippage compared to the fairly older stations which probably have dirt and other shit in them over the years. ---
