...and for reasons (wral.com) I still can't wrap my brain around, the average price per gallon in Raleigh is still $3.48 (gasbuddy.com) (although a single station did sell gas the other day for $2.98 - now back up to $3.25).

I believe I paid 3.38 (well, I paid -$0.10/gallon club card discount than that) this morning.

Just minutes ago we went down to $2.999. But that might be short term, as the cost of gasoline (to us) went up $.10 today. Luckily we got our load last night.

Paid $3.059 yesterday, but it was about $0.08 cheaper is you paid cash instead of credit.

By the way, does everyone else have different prices for credit vs. cash? I never really saw different prices until the spike in oil this spring. Not quite sure I get the reasoning behind that.

Merchant services fees from the credit card companies. Most of them charge a small fee per transaction (like $0.10) plus a percentage. It's really small, about a percent I think, but it adds up over time. A gas station's profit from gas is really small and those fees actually eat up most of what little profit they make.

To my knowledge there is not a different price for cash vs. credit here. But, we don't pump our own gas in Oregon either.

      I can understand that, but why would they start charging customers a fee for using credit once prices shot up? Wouldn't they already be making a healthier profit if the merchant fee has a percentage cost to it? Or perhaps they're reducing their margin over other costs and offering the cash option to incentivize customers? Not sure.

Another reason to offer a discount for cash would be to get customers in the store. We're family friends with someone who owns a gas station, and they make more money on someone buying a cup of coffee than from an entire tank of gas. Customers in the store means they may buy food, drink or lottery tickets.

$2.59 pretty much everywhere I go in mid-Missouri. My job requires a lot of travel, but thankfully my company gives me a pre-paid gas card that covers my business mileage(and pretty much all my personal miles, but don't tell them).

They had a blurb on NPR about a station where they accidentally had the computer set the price at $00.35/gallon. The brilliant attendant didn't notice and couldn't figure out why he was so busy. I don't remember that price since hihg school.

It's $2.53 here this afternoon, but I filled up for $2.45 yesterday afternoon 45 mintues south of here. If you go here: http://www.minnesotagasprices.com/index.aspx the price that shows for Cambridge has been two days ahead of us for the past month, so it looks like it's still going down!

It's down to $3.04 near my place. It's still about double the pre-Katrina price, but a buck down from the all-time high this summer.
