Why is it that, at some gas stations, it’s cheaper to pay with cash instead a credit card?

Question

Have noticed this recently at a few gas stations in my area – it will be several cents per gallon cheaper to pay for gas with cash rather than a credit card. Why is that?

Im in the US and pay mostly with cash. If I’m spending a lot of money I’ll ask if there is a cash discount. Maybe half the time it works? The dentist is a big one. Small vendors and restaurants even have cash discounts signs.
