please share with anyone at all.  i saw this on the news last night.

 

if you pay at the pump with your debit card, many gas stations will encumber your bank account for $50 in addition to whatever you actually pay for the gas.  they say this is to

protect the gas station from drive-offs.  the $50 will just be pending and will drop off in the

night, but if you do not have enough money in your account to cover that extra $50, you will end up with an overdraft fee EVEN THOUGH THE $50 DROPS OFF.

 

instead, pay inside rather than at the pump.

 

be warned.
