i won't go to a gas station that doesn't have a sign stating there prices (there are several gas stations where I live that don't tell you the prices until you filled up your car...)

Almost every gas station here makes you pay first or use a CC.


There have been tons of thefts that it would be stupid to have it anyother way.

I hope people see how critical it's becoming to invest in alternative fuels.

That's a smart idea if you think about it, because people will go buy fuel from you for sure, only problem is you'll run out to quickly.

Unless you can manage to get taxed free gas or cheap as fuck gas, it's stupid.

I know someone who owns a gas station and today they told me after taxes ect it costs about $2.40 per gallon even for them.

there was an arco doing a promo over here about 2 years ago when gas was about $1.60 or something. anyways, they had a sale on gas where it was $1.25 or even $1 a gallon for this one week. some reporters picked up on it and aired a report on the local and LA news. i dont even think there were huge lines, but the gas station across the street (mobile or chevron) filed a suit against them to prevent them from selling gas at such a cheap price.

but like i was saying, all gas stations over here take credit cards at the pump. you swipe your card and fill up whatever you want. no need to go inside the station, the pump has a card reader on it.

[quote="Sgt>Stackem":ab565]I wont fill up at a place that makes me pay first, I have no idea how much to give them and I dont want to have to go into the station twice just to get some gas. I also wont fill up where they dont provide a window washing tub.[/quote:ab565]

like madmartagen said, if your going to use a CC just use it at the pump, no need to go inside. but if you are going to pay cash, you can just go in once, give them 20-30 bucks and it will stop at 30, print out a receipt and you can leave. you dont have to go back in.
