In Virginia they had to amend the law that says that they have to show the "Actual" price... Many of the pumps at the "Mom & Pop" stores only read 3.99 on the dial so they had to get permission to show it by the 1/2 gallon price...

There is a place near me that is at $3.98 right now, and they give a 10 cents per gallon discount for cash!!! BUT, they also have A LOT of lumber trucks that fill up there too...

The reason for the price diff is for having the credit system in the store, since they are charged monthly by usage for having it. But, yes its bs none the less.....
