29. That used to be very common
for gas stations to charge extra per gallon if you paid with a credit card. This was back in the 1980's. I worked in a station that did that in 1987-1989. There were even some companies that didn't charge extra for credit that advertised it - "Same low price, cash or credit!" the ads would say. I believe doing that was actually outlawed in some states. At any rate, it went away and I'm surprised to hear that it's making a comeback.
