I was in my garage...
- Thread starter ire
- Start date
my barn has 55 gallon drums from last summer filled with gas still. I love not worrying about filling the small engines, and dirt bike. We only have about 60 gallons of diesel left.
If i had a house i would totally do that.
Thats going to suck to refill
Wow, I didn't know that.....I'm surprised the CC companies would limit your ability to spend. Maybe its the credit crunch
It's because the gas station puts a hold on the money when you start to pump. It is $75 because nobody used to be able to get that much gas into anything. You can just run two transactions to fill up.Wow, I didn't know that.....I'm surprised the CC companies would limit your ability to spend. Maybe its the credit crunch
True but their are velocity checks also which will throw card into a fraud queue. Gas is the number CC fraud so I am not sure how many times you could repeat this transaction before it gets marked? I understand the rational but now that gas prices are high the threshold seems too low.
I don't get it, how did your gas appreciate?
It really depends on your location/station/cc. Ive watched a couple guys fill up a fuel tank completely at a station in Maui. The gas station nearest me stops at $50. another stops at $100 in dc... etc etc. You just have to pay attention.Wow, I didn't know that.....I'm surprised the CC companies would limit your ability to spend.

When I filled my 5 gal. gas can it was around $2.50 a gallon and I haven't really used any.....buy low, sell high!
Seems everywhere I have looked has said gas goes bad after after a few months, even as soon as 30 days? You use some sort of fuel stabilizer?
I didn't think credit cards had a max on gas. I know Debit/Credit do.
give the petrol a good shake or treat it and it'll be fine, depends on what state it's in.
didn't start up my volkswagen for 9 months and when I did all I had to do was prime the carb with some fresh petrol until it started pumping the stuff it had in it before and ran rather well. Took about a thimbleful of petrol to get it going rightly again.
also, I've had the same 5gal gas can for my lawnmower for quite some time now and I haven't refilled it yet, petrol still works fine.
the gas doesnt go bad, we put fuel stabilizer in the diesel. I start work at a shell station next week. My friend worked there last year and he said when he pumped gas if the person said cash he would do credit, but use his credit card and pocket the cash. Because shell charges less when you have a shell card he would make ~ 15 - 25 cents a gallon + get some kind of bonus points for something. Not really ripping off the consumer, just the system.
Some gas stations limit the pay at the pump to $50 or $75. Most don't. The ones that do you can pay inside with your card for any amount. It is only the pay at the pump that is limited because the cc companies are responsible for all fradulent balances over $50.
