Gas prices may go up again
Floods have sent corn skyrocketing, may drive up gas prices - Jun. 13, 2008

Quote:
Continued flooding in Iowa and Illinois - the nation's top two corn-growing states - is inciting fears that the cost of the high-priced crop could soar even further, driving up ethanol and gas prices, too.

The gas prices are so high now the pump stops pumping after $75.00. I have to do two seperate transactions to fill the tank in my Mini Van. Sure glad we traded the Tahoe in a few years back.

I've seen that $75.00 stop at Wawa, but so far nowhere else (of course, I don't go to many of them, I tend to go the same few gas stations). Thought about doing a second swipe, but then decided not to. Any idea what other stations are doing this limit, too?

probably a leftover limit ... to keep someone from pumping 50 - 60 gal and driving off ... back when gas was 1 something per gal


I am surprised the bank card let 2 b2b transactions from the same place go through ........
