Fueling

[Stephen Birtles]

this statement is not entirely true

the credit card companies MAY contact you to ascertain legitimate
purposes but not always and not everytime even exceeding your limit or
spending patterns.because it deals with algorithms and the computer if
the account is not flagged to someone's attention for inspection. The
purchases will go undetected and be allowed to continue. you would
only dfind out at billing time and it would be directly reflected on
your customer statement.
Now as for not knowing how to use various driving lanes in a
particular gas station that is simply not true. If a lane is marked RV
most people with an RV would probably drive in that lane if it marked
Truck most trucks drive in those lanes A lot of people try or use the
rv lanes be cause generally they are cleaner (no spilt fuel or oil)
there is sometimes a dumpstation with water and it is generally closer
to the coffee machine.
Most p[eople tend to go to the shortest line I think be it RV or truck
If you have a large gas powered Truck or bus you would be silly to
pull into the truck lanes at any Flying J or a number of other fuel
establishments there is simply no gas available there, you must use
the car lanes. Is that permitted? Sorry tom
Some rather educated have expressed their opinions on this subject and
it would seem to be going nowehere.
One solution is to prepay with cash and I very much doubt you would
ever hit a spending ceiling on any pump.
Lets change the thread and move on to fixing birds
