Got another $15.00 to top off. It cost me $90.00 to fill up 35 gallons. $2.57/gallon. Ridiculous. Central California (Merced area)

I have a boat with a 50 gal tank so I run into this a lot. It is some kind of fraud protection, but its BS. Here's why. When the pump clicks off at $50, hang up the hose, wait 10 seconds, swipe your card and pump some more. Now that it costs $85 to fill my truck (God help me when the boat needs gas!!!) I have to do this pretty often.

Stupid question...

How do you get that signature at the bottom of your post with the pic.? Do you have to copy it in every time? I went through all the setup stuff and my 'signature' is there...but I always seem to have to type the other stuff in at the bottom of my posts... Is there an easy wayto do it once so that it shows up every time?

Thanks

One of the benefits of being an FTE supporter. The pic is actually on my web site but I was able to add the link into my signature line. It's big and kinda obnoxious but I REALLY like my truck...

Quite a few people here are running red dye, yes they know it is illeagal but with the cost of fuel and everything else it is pretty much the only way they can afford to drive at all. I guess when you live in a state that is 48th in the nation for income this is to be expected. It is sad when people feel they have to break the law to survive
