A yard of fabric can be had for cheaper than a gallon of gas, and we get more mileage out of it.

That is a good point and uplifting at the same time.

I have heard of credit card companies having a limit at the pump. It makes no sense to me to stop the pump. Like you said you can finish elsewhere.

For me, it's not my card - we use the debit card, no credit (and I know my bank doesn't cut me off at the pump). It's Shell and Exxon that do it. Not sure if anyone else does but those are our primary gas stations we go to. I don't know if it's the company itself or the individual franchisers.....either way it's kinda stupid IMO - it's like they are trying to regulate the gas I get but I still use the same amount - I either fill up elsewhere or come back another day.....still the same IMO.

Hi,

You should check with the sales clerk on their procedures. This is an automatic feature built into the pumps for sales security protection. The sales clerk on duty should be able to over-ride the automatic stop allowing you to finish filling your gas tank.

This is done for utility type trucks that have two tanks that need to be filled. Also large rv's also have large gas tanks.

Hope this helps with your next fill-up.

Have a Great Day!

I heard on tv that it could go up to $5.00 per gallon.
People won't be able to go out and shop - you see what is happening to our economy.

Ironically, I don't normally have to do much driving, but I have had doctors' appointments almost every day for the past few weeks and it isn't going to get much better for the next five months. Great timing - not!

AWK!!!! This is driving me crazy! It goes up EVERY day! Like they pay for a new shipment each day. :roll:

The $75. cut off has to do with the level that you must sign for...I think. They told me that they can run through a slip for under $75...but if over, they must have the card holders siggy..its all about security. I just go in and ask them to over-ride and they always do.
