I haven't ever been subject to differing costs between credit/debit card and cash prices, with the sole exception of the liquor store. Are there specific stores in the US that do this?

Credit cards have fees -- interest, account-keeping fees, and so on. It's why banks like them.
Only if you don't pay them off immediately, or you agree to an annual fee for specific benefits.
Depends on the card. I've got one that charges interest on purchases even if they were made in that same month. (In general you're right though)
have you ever used your credit card at gas station?
I own a Model S :P

But yes, and most gas stations I've ever used don't have a cash and credit price.
