<VV> ARCO ATM CARD FEE (NO CORVAIR)

[RoboMan91324 at aol.com]

Hi Rod,

I am not sure where you are but here in SoCal, ARCO has always charged a 
service charge when you use an ATM.  At least, that is the case since I moved here 
about 7 years ago.  I think they raised it from 25 cents a few years ago.  
ARCO is the low priced gas supplier and is usually less expensive than the 
off-brand stations.  I think that the 35 cents charge is a pretty reasonable 
reflection of their actual cost to process your charge.  The cash alternative or the 
use of an ARCO charge card is still without the service charge.

If you are filling your 2 gallon container for your lawnmower, the 35 cents 
adds significantly to the per gallon cost but if you are filling a 30+ gallon 
tank like I have on my Bronco, the 10+ cents that you save per gallon makes it 
well worth it.  Even the 5 gallon tank on my Harley still nets me a savings on 
a fill up.  Of course, I always fill my lawnmower container at the same time 
as I fill the Bronco.

Just my perspective.

Doc
