The local ARCO gas stations charge a 45 cent “convenience fee” to purchase gas with a debit card.

Now, that the new law and new debit card rules are in place, courtesy of Sen. Dodd and Rep. Frank, do you think you'll get a break on that "convenience fee"?

What rate should the government mandate as a "reasonable" cost of credit and transaction processing?

I avoid the ARCO station unless I’m filling my F150 with 15 gallons or more to amortize the fee across a big fill up. It just makes filling the Harley with 2.5 gallons a non-player next to a transaction at a slightly higher price per gallon at another station.
