VADO, New Mexico -- At National Truck Stop in Vado, N.M., if you want to get the price of $4.58 per gallon of diesel, you have to pay with cash, otherwise it will cost you more.

"We have two different prices, one's a cash price, one's a credit price," said Maria Torres with National Truck Stop.

So truckers get rewarded if they pony up the cash.

"The 5 cents per gallon, it's a difference, especially if you are fueling a truck that carries 300 gallons," said Paul Pedregon, a trucker from East El Paso.

"Comes out to, what is it, a $1,000 a year?" said Martin Bouvet, who works out of Garfield, N.M.

Yet truckers for the most part don't like the different prices.

"It's kind of hard to carry cash these days, everything is done with credit cards," said Pedregon.

"Well, uh, I don't really like it," said Bouvet. "And then what if somebody jumps me? Can't do that."

For the average driver, like Jose Leon, whose pickup truck runs on diesel, he loves the cash option.

"I never use credit cards, I always pay with cash, and diesel has gone up in price," said Leon.

He said he looks for the cash prices whenever he fills up.

"So far I haven't found any other gas station that is cheaper than this one, and I've gone across town to find cheaper prices and yet I always pump here," Leon told KFOX.

There is one happy compromise at the National Truck Stop: They treat debit cards like cash, so if you use your debit card, you get the cash price.
