I think ALL the places make you pay before you pump in this area...and I don't blame them...I use a credit card..on debit..I think some stations automatically freeze your bank account by about 50 or 75 dollars, and then don't turn that amount loose even if you only get a small amount of gas for a week or two.....ALL stations don't freeze up this large amount....Jeannie T ...where gas is 345 as of yesterday....at some stations.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Thu, 24 Apr 2008 23:47:20 -0400 "Mary R Mungo" <MRMungo@Comporium.net> writes: > I noticed that the price of gas has jumped in the last couple of days. I filled up Wednesday morning at $3.27. When I came back by four hours later it had jumped to $3.34. Today I noticed that it's now $3.45. This is all at the same local store.
