PHOTO: Gas Station Changes Payment Pricing Ways

A St. James gas station now charges the same price for cash or credit.

A longtime St. James gas station is now charging the same price for cash and credit.

Sunoco, located at 560 Middle Country Road near Wendy's, recently made the change and announced it with a double-sided sign sitting alongside the road.

Last year a number of local gas stations were under harsh criticism for charging significantly more for charging gas versus paying by credit card. In November of last year Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone warned price gougers that price gouging in Suffolk County would "not be tolerated."

"Why are Smithtown teachers continuing to pay for school supplies out of their ownRead More pocket?" Since when? Ever see the big list of supplies kids get in their folders at the end of the year for them to bring in next year? I think you're talking about the wrong school district.
