You guys really don't remember when gas stations charged differently for cash vs credit? Good lord, I'm old.

I see a lot that still do for large diesel purchases, all around Kentucky and Southern Illinois on 57. I didn't see many if any in Michigan. They offer discounted prices to truckers, if they pay cash instead of using cards. I'm wondering if the 75-100 dollar limit applies to them too, and when they fill up their tanks they have to run their card multiple times (multiple fees, etc.)
Can't sleep, clown will eat me.

I remember. But "remember" implies that it's no longer the case.

Nah, most of them use ComData cards ( limit is set by what you or the company you work for loads onto the card, not the gas station). Also, fully loaded those trucks are only getting 5~7mpg, so 75 bucks worth wouldn't even be worth stopping for, especially when you consider that the average truck holds 300 gallons.

Never regret.To regret is to assume.
I started driving in 1977. I remember gas lines and the valuable lesson I learned about putting my feminine wiles to good use.

Elinda didn't pay for her ride in gas or grass is what she's sayin'.

Still a thing around here. Also: in New Jersey there's still no self serve gas stations. I think. Because Mafia, I assume.

The gas stations had to limit the times they were allowed to pump gas. Iir (it was a long time ago) twice a day they'd open the pumps for two or three hour blocks. I was only able to get my gas a couple times outside of those times as I served coffee at the local Perkins to the gas station guys.
My ride was all my own.

I still get confused when random dudes run up to my car while I'm pumping, and I realize "Oh, I'm in Jersey today"...

The gas-pumpers have turned this thread sexist.
Girls can pass gas too!
