yeah had noticed that...depressing isn't it. How long before its £150

When Safeway first installed self-service unattended pumps in the mid-1990s the limit was £50
Petrol at the time was 40p per litre

The limit is set by the card issuer
For most Debit cards the limit has only recently been raised from £50 to £100
For Credit cards and Fuel cards the limit varies between £100 and £250

I remember going up north once and stopping to refuel, and there was a sign on each pump saying "payment MUST be made at the kiosk BEFORE fuel is dispensed". I went inside and asked if that was for real, the attendant looked at me, looked out the window at my car, and said "Nah, you're ok, go ahead".

We're quite forgetful "up north" people would drive off and forget to pay.
