Actually we did go to a gas station in MI over the weekend that had a cash price vs credit. This is the first I have seen this and it was a big difference, I believe 18 cents a gallon. Here in the burbs of a Chicago we can get our gas at Costco and I don't think they can use those tactics because they don't have a cashier on site. But this tactic is just ridiculous. I know I don't want to go in the station to pay because you have to do this first, guess an amount or pay an amount and go back in again for change if needed, right? By the way, the trip to MI from Chicago was awful, construction all the way across IN to MI, crazy crazy drivers, heavy traffic and texting drivers. So dangerous. We had a few instances of people exiting the freeway cutting across all lanes of traffic to get there, barely clearing our car, another couple of instances of those stupid rocket type motorcycles blasting thru traffic at what had to be 80 miles an hour. I couldn't wait to get home. My husband and I remarked that we can't wait to finally retire (soon) and get to TV and maybe have to wait at a light 5 cars back. I know there are stupid drivers everywhere but it is certainly not at this level. I'm so tired of this. Oh, at one point (luckily going in the opposite direction than us) we saw a traffic alert on my IPad of a warning that it would be 1 hour and 45-minutes to go 2 miles due to construction on I94. Think about this today when you're driving in TV! I know I will when we come for our visit next month to our new home in Lake Deaton.. Sorry I digressed from the OP post about gas prices.
