We even called our CC co. to see if it could be over riden that way. No help. So, now we carry 5 different cards, and just keep swipin' the next card, when the previous one won't take. (sometimes we get 2-3 swipes outta 1 card) We don't have to go inside, and get all of our receipts out of the pump. PITA, but better than goin' inside to pay. Robbie

Hauls better 1/2, 3 kids, myself, and a 2003 ez go clays car.. I have added so far, neon lights, clearance lights, back up lights, black light, lift kit, mud tires, and everything necessary to make the golf cart street legal. It's now ready to spend the winter in the garage for more mods. More neon, strobe lights, alarm, a pa system, maintance, and whatever else that comes along. This golf cart does wheelies and travels thru 7 inches of mud when need be. Two honda eu2000i gens twinned to supply the electrical power. Latest addition an 04 Honda Goldwing.

I was at a Holiday station in Minnesota a few weeks ago that had the RV pumps behind the station and it would stop at $200. I even went inside to leave the CC but it would only allow two $200 purchases at a time...then I had to settle up. I then pumped a third time and it stopped at $35.00. So, $435 filled her up!
I stopped at a Pilot station near Cincinnati today and they didn't have Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel at the truck pumps. They said they had it at the front car pumps but I couldn't fit there so I left. I thought EVERY station in the US was required to have ALL ULSD fuel.
So, I finally found ULSD at a Marathon station on hwy 50 for $4.55 a gallon.

Some stations don't have limits....Around here we have some SA's that stop you at $50.00....I can't even fill up my pickup for that, so I avoid them and go to the stations without a limit.....Of course hard to do when your on the road.
When I limit out on my Minivan something ain't right
I've talked to Shell and they do it to protect against fraud.

You all need to be careful about multiple swipes. More than twice and it might put a flag on your CC. I have had this happen and my CC was shut down for the rest of the trip. Could not correct it, without calling from my home phone number.
