24/24 Fuel Pumps in France
It's not a new topic: we've had a discussion before on how using your bank card at a 24/24hr pump will result in the maximum allowable delivery being held as pending payment on your account until the actual amount clears. This can take days, and meanwhile that amount is not available to you to spend.
What is new is that, as the price of diesel has fallen, the maximum dleivery has risen dramaticaly. This morning at Intermarche in Orange the maximum delivery was set at 150€! It used to be around the 80 to 90€ mark!! So having topped up with 47€'s worth at 1.12€/litre, we have an overhang on our account of 150€.
Does anyone know of a motorhome into which you could dispense a 150€'s worth? The HGV pumps were seperate to the ones we used, so it can't be that. Why raise the amount when the price has gone down?
