I find these monetary limits quite annoying. These stickers are on the pumps at local Speedway gas stations. According to this article these limits have always been in place and part of corporate policy. The stickers, however, have shown up in the last year or so as the cost of a gallon of gas rose to the point that filling your tank can actually cost more than $50.
I filled up tonight at $2.49 per gallon. I let my tank get pretty empty sometimes because I hope to find a decent price before I fill up. So I reached the $50 limit by the time I almost filled the tank. No biggie. But when gas reaches much higher than that and I want to fill up, it’s gonna mean that I have to do 2 separate pay at the pump transactions.
Annoying. Perhaps I should get a MasterCard and use that for gas instead.
