>used a CC and the pump automatically stopped at $50. That must be the max the gas stations use to authorize on credit cards.<

I think the feds linked up your Fed ID (blogging) stuff with your credit card. So you can't drive too far on that tank of gas....You may have been labeled a code orange guy...

"$50 and not even a fill up. Wonder what it would have cost to charge an electric car overnight?"

If you had an electric car now, before they caught wise, you could recharge at your motel with an extension cord for FREE!

Actually, there are electric sockets at many public places outside. With some judicious clandestine plugging in, you could get your fuel costs to zero..

Note to self: future product idea - locking outside electric socket covers..
