If you have an E-ZPass on your vehicle to pay tolls, you can now use it as well to get discounted fuel at 27 Alltown gas stations, including the one in Wellesley at Washington and Kingsbury Streets.

The E-ZPass operators have given the go-ahead to a company called PayByCar to deliver the service, which results in a 30 cent-per-gallon discount for those who sign up. Prices are typically high at that station, but this would put it in the ballpark of area stations that regularly charge less.

When you drive into a participating station, PayByCar recognizes your E-ZPass transponder. You get
a text message, you reply with the pump number, PayByCar turns on the pump, you fuel up,
and drive away with an email receipt. PayByCar does not draw funds from E-ZPass holders’ tolling
accounts.

The touch-free system has been in pilot mode at some stations since spring and is now being expanded.
