I just wish they would quit setting the cutoff at $75. A 22 gallon tank and gas north of $4 a gallon means I never quite get a full tank of gas. 
(or drop gas back down to $2 a gallon of course)

You'll have to pry my company fuel card out of my cold, dead fingers.

All the BP stations around here will go to $100. With a 30 gallon tank it still isn't enough. I usually just run the card twice.

I think another thing about the US/Europe thing is the different distances involved. My friends from the UK and I often joke that the main difference between us is that an American thinks 100yrs is a long time, and an Englishman thinks 100mi is a long way. I don't know whether it the zoning laws, or just US culture, but my place is about 40mi from where I used to work (same distance to the place I just interviewed with). I could only get about 7-10mi closer without being handed a rent increase that would make the increased price of gasoline look like a gift in comparison. There are cheap places closer to town, but they're either in neighborhoods where the kid would have to stay indoors all day to keep from being shot-or about a third of the square footage of this place (don't even want to think of two adults & a child in a 1bdr apartment with no garage).
