Well when you put your CC into the pump, the gas station itself can put any authorization amount they want on the pump. Even if your only getting $30 worth of gas if your card isnt able to take the authorization amount you get rejected.

So if pump was set at $150 and you had less than that available...no go.
Ended up spending all my pocket cash on gas.
That's happened to me before. I hate that shit, but I don't mind that it takes sometimes 4 days for a gas purchase to clear.
