I can't see why the garages can't come up with some sort of solution where you state how much fuel you want to put in when authorising your card, authorise that amount and then the pump shuts off once it reaches that amount. 

Some pumps do this to stop you going over fuel anyway, so surely it can't be too difficult to implement. 

Or would that be too easy lol. 

I only ever fill my car to the brim. So I have no idea how much that will cost. 🤷‍♂️

If you always fill your car to the brim, then I’m sure you’ll have a rough guess of how much it’ll cost you 🤷‍♂️

No. As it depends on how empty the tank is & how much the fuel is... If I underestimated that throws out the whole idea of keeping a log of MPG & costs. If I can not fill it to the brim.

I'm quite happy that the £100 auth will cover any amount I might spend. Which then as other posters have said adjusts to the correct amount.
