And that is EXACTLY the opposite from what they should do, in my opinion. Such a policy MAKES people stop into the gas stations more often, which leads to long lines as everyone tries to top off their gas tanks as often as possible. What SHOULD be done is to basically have a $50 MINIMUM. Anyone wanting to top off their tank and only get five gallons would still have to pay that $50. If they are willing to pay $10 per gallon, then have at it. That way the lines would evaporate and the panic driven tank topping off would cease immediately.
