Convenience Fee

I was renewing my license plate tags today and wanted to pay online instead of sending in a check. We wanted to save the $.41 and get it done quickly. Well, in order to pay your renewal on an IL plate online there is a "convenience" fee. And how much would you expect to pay for such a convenience?

$1.75

So, it will cost me $1.31 more (not a huge deal) to pay online. Plus think of all the mail that they get to keep coming (which I'm sure is about 2 or 3 jobs for people). I'm just not sure what to think. Needless to say, we will be mailing in our check today.
