When I lived by San Diego and went to LA, think it got to over $5.00, they had $100 limits per fill up, you had to put your card in again for a 2nd transaction to finish filling up, was told it was to prevent stealing, never understood it.
Also at some stations had guards to stop some people from forcing others to pay for their gas.
Also known as stealing.
I remember when it wasn’t that uncommon to find a rifle lying next to the street, and next to your mailbox, where the postman had left it
The box was from the DCM, and contained the M1 for which you had paid $165 months earlier. It was a pretty exciting day!
