minus-squarestarman2112@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 hour agoPersonally, I estimate. I have a quarter of a tank, I need 3/4 of a tank. That’s 9 gallons. Times $3.63 is $32.67. I get $30 on pump whatever
minus-squarefarmgineer@nord.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up17·6 hours agoPay the clerk. If you can’t fit x litres/gallons/whatevers, you go back to the clerk and they give you the remaining balance back.
minus-squareSerinus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up19·7 hours agoWell these days credit cards have an authorization function where they can hold $50 or $100 and then when done can release the hold and charge you the proper amount. And cash is rare enough that they don’t mind inconveniencing those people anymore.
