		<description>Issues with the above list - many stations are no longer accepting Amex cards of any type (I'll assume the reason is that the merchant's fees associated with Amex are higher and many gas stations don't want to pay it.)  

Secondly, the cash rewards you get back for these credit cards are reduced (or nearly offset) by the surcharge many stations now charge for using credit cards ... a practice that was once disguised as "Pay Cash and Save" back in the 80's has again resurfaced. 

I can remember back in the '80s when Getty proudly touted "Same Price Cash or Credit" at their pumps, and had ads attacking competitors who charged extra for using credit cards (Shell was one practicing this disguised as "Pay Cash and Save" -while they didn't even have to post the credit prices!)  The ad compared the practice to a restaurant charging extra for a customer using a credit card to pay for a meal. The outrage practically made this injustice disappear by the end of the 80's, but with merchants losing profits with today's gas prices, it has crept back into play.   I don't have a Getty station in my area, but if they are still around (they're being rebranded as Lukoil nationwide) I'd like to know if they are continuing their practice of charging the same price, cash or credit - and if they are, perhaps rolling out those old ads from the '80s would help curb this injustice once again.</description>

		<description>I use a gas rebate Mastercard from more than 2 years and get 1.25% from the total amount spent at the end of the year back. It is great to have the $100-$200 credited on my credit card in January.</description>
