Warning: Do NOT use credit/debit card to pay as even if you ask for a specific amount, they place a large hold on your account (in my case, all funds that were available). I asked for and received $20 in gas, all of my available balance was reduced to ZERO on my debit card now, and this was the money I would have bought food with. The only other station I use is Chevron in SE Portland, and they only put a $1 hold on your card!!!



The card company says the hold will fall off in a few days and show the correct $20 only, and the station attendant can only give me the managers name and the number for corporate, which on Saturday is closed as any "corporate" business would be. No money for at least the entire weekend, probably longer. How can a company in effect OVERCHARGE you so much, even temporarily, and have this not be considered fraud? Guess I'll drive the extra distance from now on, it's cheaper and you don't loose the use of all your money (sorry, not rich -- or I suppose it wouldn't matter).



Warning signs for this type of practice not posted anywhere you can see from your vehicle. Either have LOTS of extra funds in your account, or pay with cash.
