I've only ever seen a plastic pump limit once and that was at $75.

One gas station I went to had a sign posted on limits, something like $50 for MC and $75 for Visa, or vice versa. Must be company policy or something.
Anyway, $3.09 for premium here.

It's a safety feature to help prevent exorbanent charges by an unautherized person. Even when paying with cash, pumps do have a shut off point. This is to prevent some a$$ from filling up his truck and boat, spending $200 and driving off without paying. Drive offs are a major pain because the police won't do anything about it. My Dad owns a mobil station and has resorted to chasing people down himself.

Hopefully we could all save a ton of money that way. Gas starts going bad within 1 week.

Not necessarily the truth, Bryant. It's been about a year since I bought a gallon of low-grade stuff for my lawn mower, and it still hasnt turned into gel. I sure wouldnt put it into my car at this point, but it still burns just as well in lawn mower.

I think gas is about 3.16 here in the colorado springs. Last week it was 3.02. My wife said that gas was going to hit $4 this summer. That is crazy. I'm looking at $68 for a full tank. Gotta do some hard budgeting for the family vacation this year....

All of the gas stations in the Kansas City area are prepay. They have what they call "pumpstart cards" that allow you to pump gas then pay for it, but if you drive off they have your vehicle type, license plate #, driver's license number and a few other important things, I'm sure it's cut down on gas and go's.

Friend of mine got his mom's old car...it sat in a barn for a year, new battery it started right up. We'd use the gas in under a year, so it'd be fine.

ah. do you happen to know about how long before it does turn into gel? I'm sure I could find it, but I am just too busy and lazy to find it myself.

The way gas is going now around here, I don't think we have time to find out if it will turn to gel, LOL!
