If the above in bold was true gas station around the nation have been breaking User Agreements with CC companies for years. Every Gas station in my area has 2 separate prices Cash or Credit usually 3-5 cent difference

Really? Not sure how much of "around the nation" are doing that. I've lived in six different states in the last eight years (and driven through dozens!), and have NEVER seen a gas station list two different prices for gas. The only exception would be the ones that offer a discount for using their own credit card...but that's not anything listed on the pump or street signs, either.

Maybe the state you live in allows some sort of exception for gas stations?

EDIT to add one more thought: Just because CC's make merchants sign an agreement to not charge CC fees to their customers doesn't mean everyone abides by THOSE rules either. I've run across plenty of merchants that add a "convenience fee" for using a CC in their shop...but always private little mom-and-pop sort of operations. The big retailers wouldn't dare.
