It seems to me that when a gas station adds a good car wash, and advertises wash with lower gas prices (usually less 10 cents per gallon, we should be allowed to add both prices, (one in the comments column) one with lower price as "Car wash Gas Price" This way, the gas station that invests can make higher profit, while consumer saves 10 cents per gallon

I'm assuming that, as justbs86 said "add a good car wash..." Does that mean our posting is judgmental, and a car wash is not good, we shouldn't consider posting the price?

I agree with Scoutmaster. Teaser or other discount prices can be noted in the comments, but the basic cash price should be the one posted.

And, of course,we should be allowed to add the price if one supermarket or other business offers a discount for buying so much of the supermarket's products, and we need to, of course, be able to differentiate between supermarket/gas station offers, as some gas stations have different arrangements with different supermarkets. And we have a gas station here that, if you buy a large one topping pizza at the pizza shop inside the station, you save 5 cents a gallon; if you buy the large two topping pizza, one litre soda, breadsticks/sauce and dozen wings combon, you save 10 cents per gallon (maximum 20 gallon). We, I guess, should have policy to add that price too. Right? I mean based on what you're saying, we should be able to list all the various pricings, shouldn't we?

This suggestion has been added to the Suggestion Tracking List as a new subject.

Are the discounts for wash purchase generally constant for all grades sold, such that a discount amount would be sufficient (vs. separate discounted prices for all grades)?
