Then the sudden change! So I try to avoid stations that do this. A 20cent difference is big! And quite irritating for sure. Ours is usually a 10cent difference.

It comes up on the machine after you have placed your card in the slot and have taken it out. I can understand charging the extra for card use once but on every gln.

I can't drive that many hours in one day, don't know how you do it. I need to make several stops to get out and stretch - even for a 3 or 4 hour drive.Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01019364333876469130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8380348623382527060.post-60629700813367446802013-01-21T22:07:43.700-07:002013-01-21T22:07:43.700-07:00That was one long drive, Barbara!

There are a lot of stations that use that method to catch people's eye. I use a card when traveling so have to be watchful whenever I pull into a station. All too easy to be in the wrong place. Enjoy your time there.

Since we're sitting in California for 4 months, we've signed up for the Safeway card, and are using our groceries to help lower the cost per gallon of diesel. Every little bit helps!owensontheroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076915620668491771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8380348623382527060.post-82098684296808199012013-01-21T20:25:46.463-07:002013-01-21T20:25:46.463-07:00Pretty sneaky with the bait and switch.

I have noticed to, on the trip out west, that some gas stations on the interstate (especially ones in more remote stretches with no competition) don't post their prices. You have to exit and drive up really close to see.

The last bottle I bought was Croft's ruby port, and I had forgotten how much I like port. It's much stronger though and I have to drink much less of it.<br /><br />I only took the 5 over the Grapevine one time in my RV and swore I would never do it again. Not the bumps, but the traffic was horrendous.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8380348623382527060.post-18352584336282664012013-01-21T12:16:37.204-07:002013-01-21T12:16:37.204-07:00Seems like forever since we heard from you

The cash price deal on cash drives me crazy, there was a 10 cent difference last year, sounds like they are getting bolder now going with 20 cents. Glad you made it safe and sound.
