As in the pump stopped at $85 because that is the credit card authorization limit or they are limiting people to $85 in gas? I don't think there are currently any shortages that would necessitate limiting purchases.DH got gas this morning. There’s an $85 limit on gas.

The last time gas climbed the stations and merchant banks had to bump up the pre authorization limits so people could fill their tanks. Sounds like that limit needs to be bumped again.
Probably needs to be set to $250-$300 to prepare for $7 gas and 30-35 gallons tanks.
I saw on twitter someone I follow was complaining about the $1100 it cost to fill their RV.
I was going to wait for paycheck to hit the account on Friday, but maybe I shouldn't.Go fill up now looks like the US is going to ban Russian oil imports today.
How on earth do you pay for that? When I was married maintaining 2 cars, that would have been $300/week. My then wife wouldn't have made enough at her part time job to make ends meet to get to work and back.I'm in British Columbia and gas just hit $2.089/litre here. About a week ago it was at $1.569, then it jumped to $1.949, and today it is well over $2.
So, using 1 US Gallon = 3.78 Litres, that comes out to around $7.90US/Gallon, or $10.12 CAD/gallon.
The US has enjoyed comparatively cheap gas compared to much of the rest of the world.How on earth do you pay for that? When I was married maintaining 2 cars, that would have been $300/week. My then wife wouldn't have made enough at her part time job to make ends meet to get to work and back.
On the way to work this morning everywhere was $4.19. Coworker made the comment at 9 am "hey, at least the gas didn't go up overnight." No, since you saw it at $4.19 an hour ago, everyone is reporting it now online at $4.59.That's adorable. I was seeing 4.39 in my area of Pennsylvania yesterday.
I drive a Mazda 3. That would be $120/week just for me in my little "economy" car.The US has enjoyed comparatively cheap gas compared to much of the rest of the world.
They do it by driving much smaller cars with much smaller engines. They do it by using public transportation.
Why?They are limiting customers to $85 in gas.
