IT-problems of the gas station company in Sweden at the moment, no international cards worked.
Across the street was a bank with a working ATM, so back to cash in Sweden 2019.

It is getting more and more common here in Sweden that you have to pre-pay the gasoline if you choose to pay at the register instead of at the pump.
As a Swede, I do prefer to use my card, since that is what I am used to. I have not carried cash when at home here in Sweden for the past 10-20 years. And the times it has caused "some" problems, i can count on one hand.
You more likely will have problems paying with cash, then paying with cards in Sweden, since more and more stores/shops stops accepting cash as payment.
However, when travelling, I do follow the norm in the country that I am in. A mix of cash, card and a dummy wallet is not un-common.
