Arco spokesman Albert Greenstein disclosed Thursday that the company is studying such a move to ease the growing burden that credit sales are plac ing on the cost of selling gaso line.

He said other alternatives under consideration for lower ing the cost of credit sales in clude charging fees to dealers or customers who use the service. Greenstein declined to specu late on what such a move would do to the price of gasoline at the pump, or what other credit ser vices may be offered in lieu of oil company sponsored cards.
