This was the norm back in the 70's. And yes, it was because of the 3% fee that the gas station had to pay the credit card company's. One price for cash .04 to .05 more for credit.
Credit card companys worked out a deal with most gas companys to get away from these differences in the 80's, because they wanted to sell more credit cards to the consumers, and everyone started to pay the same price.
Now, Credit card companys are losing profits, Gas Stations are losing profits, One side is trying to screw the other again and the stations are going back to two different prices.
I'm seeing the differences in prices advertised in Northern KY, Cincinnati southern and central ohio.
