If you did pay at the pump, it would automatically put a hold on X amount of funds and then when your actual transaction posted and cleared, it would release those funds. Could take up to a week. I couldn't prepay, b/c I was filling up and wasn't sure of the amount.I drove off from like 5 stations before I found one that wasn't like this.If I am getting X amount I don't mind prepaying, but it is hard when you are filling up.
really? our g-cars all have thier own cc's on the key rings. we just swipe the card at the pump, enter the license number, then the mileage using they pay at pump key pad. don't even have to turn a receipt in to anyone.

Pre-pay inside is another story, though. When I have to use the federal government tagged work vehicle for travel, you can't pay at the pump. You have to go inside, tell them what you're doing and make sure that they take the card (and know how to run it), you have to give the mileage and license tag number, and then you go back out to pay. At which point, you generally find that it didn't work, and you have to go back inside and start all over again. Gah.

Neither are these gas stations, in asking you to pay for your gas before you pump it.
