That has been the case the few times I have been forced to go inside.

- Leave the card at the register then go back in to pay (generally not an option)
- Guess low and don't fill the tank
- Guess high and trust the charge that goes through will only be what you used and not the higher amount

Any of the three involve walking into the station and waiting in line. The first requires walking and waiting twice. Cash options must be similar though I haven't paid cash for gas in probably 25 years.
