I like the way some gas stations deal with the issue. You pay full price for gas using a credit card, but if you get their card, that is linked to a bank account, the gas is at a discounted price reflecting no credit card service fee. Consumers paying with cash or direct debit shouldn’t be penalized with a credit card service fee. If there is no discount, I always use a credit card so I get rewards points or travel points, otherwise I use cash.
