Can't blame them either. The stupid credit card companies are a little too much, asking for a 1% cut off all sales using credit card. With such huge volume, they should be happy with just 0.3% to 0.5%.

That's still rumour I think. I pumped full tank yesterday because of the rumour. Better safe than sorry these days.

Sigh... bo credit card... have to use cash. I'm going to be dried up next month.

Nah, that's just a false rumour. No logic either. They will lose a lot of money if they close down their petrol stations. That's financial suicide.

The fact is they already announced they will refuse to accept credit cards. It was in the papers a few days ago.

In any case, it's over now. They have restored the use of credit cards. I think BNM is going to force the credit card companies to accept 0.5% instead of 1%. I think that's more than fair, considering the amount of petrol that is sold every day.

BTW, I just read that the US is seriously thinking of bombing Iran. If they do that... man, oil prices are going to shoot up even more.

Hmm.. That's true, but the IAEA just warned Bush not to bomb Iran. I doubt they would do that unless they felt Bush was really going to do it...

He is about as sharp as a sack of hammers and about time they got him out of office. If the US does this it will be WW3 I hope they realize the implications of this. There are a lot of countries that have remained silent and salient on the US and the Middle East so far but if Bush pushes this I think something major will happen and remember I was here for the Cold War years ago.

The_YongGrand I do as well Bro and lets hope it doesn't happen it will affect more than gas prices

Well, a strike on Iran or a war with Iran is something I think the US cannot afford right now. They are already embroiled in Iraq and Afghanistan. Fighting on a third front will be suicidal.
