Wrong. I'd pump 10, shut the pump off, and pump another 10, etc. Why pay the tax if I can break up the full tank into a few transactions.
- mc32 11y agoMost credit cards don't allow consecutive charges at gas stations from the same holder. Not in my experience anyway. You could pay cash multiple times, but then you'd have to go into the hut a couple of times. Yes you could game it, but people with money won't bother over a couple of bucks.
