Fuel Price, Cash now means Cash.

We stopped at the Chevron Station just east of Goldbar Washington. The sign said Diesel, Cash $3.89, Credit $3.99. I filled up the truck, took about 40 gallons. Went inside to pay with Debit card and I was charged $3.99 a gallon. I asked for the cash price and I was told that 'cash" now means cash money, folding money, No Plastic!

Paid the $3.99 price but felt like I was ripped off for the four buck difference.

Just a heads up, don't know if ALL Chevron stations are doing this now.

  • I don't see any problems. The stations advertised a cash price and a credit card price. Since when does a credit card transaction = cash?
  • When did you come out of the cave? Just kidding. It's been that way as long as I remember. Cash means cash.
  • I thought the choice was cash or credit. it seems to me that credit cards are credit? what would cash mean if not $$$$ folding money?

    That would be my response to you also. Would you take a Debit card for say,an item you sold at a garage sale - I wouldn't.
  • Been that way around here for a long time, cash means cash, no matter what brand is on the station.
