Ive seen that….a few years ago, station near me maxed out at $50. Gas was w.ut or so at the time. …
However, I’ve predicted (as have many others) climate change lockdowns and rationing of gasoline and electricity in order to save the planet….
I’ve seen these kind of reports on Twitter. With pictures.
Following is a copy of a comment made to the linked article (by someone other than me). Much ado about nothing.

“ Anyone who has had to fill a large gas tank over 25 gallons knows this message is from the card issuing bank. The giveaway being the $125 limit as opposed to a message saying you’ve reached your 7.63 gallons for the day. Card companies note your average refueling costs and when things change drastically, they impose a limit. I’ve had this happen several times over the years with a Ford Excursion with a 44 gallon tank. Diesel prices spike and I have to use two or more cards. Nothing new to see here ;-)”
I’m guessing this is actually just a new feature that tells the customer what transaction amount the pump authorized from the bank.
No big deal.
Yet.
I’m guessing that the gas supplies up there were running short, so the station enacted a quota. Back to the 1970s!
How is everyone enjoying the first white, retarded, pedophile president and his giggling Indian sidekick so far? This was the best the ‘RATS could do but they knew they had the election in the bag anyway no matter who they ran with the dempanic mail in “voting” system being used.
Happened to me. Although I’m thinking it was a business policy. But if you have a 30 gallon tank, it doesn’t take long to get to $125
Yesterday the pump shut down at $75. I wasn’t full.
GASOHOL
During my last 2 fill ups here in N. California after the Ukraine and Uncle Joe/Go Brandon impact, the pump stopped at just under 7 gallons with 2 different vehicles.
Then, it took a long time to fill up. I couldn’t leave the control lever on the pump handle on. I had to hold it down to get a full tank both times.
One of our sons had it happen with a corporate truck during the same time era. 30 miles away from where I had the same problem.
Again, all of this happened post/under Joe/Ukraine effects.

“...whose social media bio says she lives in New York City...”
Zero pity.
I remember my Dad stopping to get gas in the 1950s, handing the attendant 2 bucks and telling him to filler’up. At 29 cents a gallon he could do that.
I pulled into an Exxon station last week to get gas. The pump stopped at two gallons and the pumps screen said “transaction temporarily suspended please wait”. It happened at all pumps.
They came back on in about two minutes with the gas price 10 cents higher per gallon.
That’s the first time thats ever happened in my decades of driving.
I remember the gas lines back in the 70’s this might be worse.
Remember the odd/even gas rationing during the 1970s?
Odd/Even last number on the license could get gasoline
on either odd/even days....
Remembering gas shortages of 1970s -

Gas rationing is almost certain in the near future, but prepare for food rationing. Diesel prices, lack of fertilizers and the Green jihad on all fossil fuels could leave crops unplanted, not harvested or not shipped to market. The smug elites in their electric cars could find no tofurkey on the shelves at Whole Foods.
Back to the 70s.
Been there, done that.
it was a dollar limit, not gallon limit, sounds more like the buttons you can push on the pump
i’d think a rationing thing would limit quantity not price
i’m sure there’s no more $5 or $10 limits on there anymore, $125 wouldn’t be that far of a stretch
