For stations that have pricing discounts for cash, how do people report prices, the price on the sign (almost always the cash price, with "cash" noted somewhere on the sign in much smaller, less noticable font) or the higher credit price at the pump?

Would it be possible to build in a reporting system for differentiating between cash and credit pricing? I hate pulling into a station to buy gas only to find the price is cash, and so the actual price is much higher than the station across the street. Given the number of people who have difficulty with the basic reporting system, this might be asking for trouble, but it seems like it would be useful.

It seems that most people who post, give the lower price & don't indicate there is a higher credit price. That suits me just fine. Even though I prefer to pay by credit card, I will pay cash if the price is lower. If all I see is the higher price, I'll look for a cheaper station, even though the cash price might be lower. I give the lower price, but always indicate in the comments section that the credit price is X cents higher.

Nevermind, I found the FAQ. For anyone who doesn't know, report the credit price, but add the cash prices in the comment field, if only cash prices are shown, report those, but note cash in the comments.
