Business Week has a story about a gas station chain in Georgia and Florida that is giving a 6 cent per gallon discount to customers who make their purchase with cash instead of a credit card.  You could also say that the station is charging a 6 cent per gallon fee to credit card users.  It’s an attempt by the company to pass along costs associated with accepting credit card payments.

I’m guessing this won’t become a wide spread phenomenon, but you never know.  Some travel centers already charge lower prices for big rig drivers who pay with cash.
