Would you buy gasoline from a gas station that made you pay for it BEFORE you pumped it? How can you know how much it will take?

I would prefer the gas station where you pay after you pump. Have you ever prepaid for gas and had to stand in the freezing cold while the last gallon sloooowly fills to your paid amount? :p

They are all prepay near me. If I pay cash I just have to go in then go back for my change.

well I have a pretty good idea how much gas it takes from years of pumping gas in my auto. most stations do this to keep people from filling up and driving off without paying. However I buy my gas buy having it delivered to my home once a month. I save on the pump price and since I buy a large amount I can get it even cheaper. I have a 1000 gallon tank for storage with my own pump. So I do not have to buy gas at a station unless I travel which I have not done in years.

Those are the only kind of pumps that we have out here. That's why I got a gas card. So I can just swipe my card, fill my tank, and them bill me for it later.

I pay after I pump.

we don't have any pumps around here that aren't "pre-pay".....it drives me nuts when i have to go back in to pay more....or get change if i've paid too much; i just use my debit card at the pump most of the time.

You guess..you pay..you pump..whatever you don't use up they refund..we do it all the time. :)

Yes, I do it all the time. I estimate how much it will cost. They will give you back whatever your car doesn't take.

This is why I have a gas card.........And another thing....go by the 10 gallon rule so that you're not getting ripped off....If the price is 3.71 9/10 then the price at 10 gallons shoud be 37.19 cents.
