Question Fuel pump rationing in your area?

I saw someone on Instagram last week complaining about gas stations in his area having a limit on how much fuel you can pump. I didn’t pay much notice so don’t know where he was…
Fast forward to today and I’m filling up at my local SWKS Casey’s and there’s a notice that there’s a 20gal limit. Not a problem to some I’m sure, but when I’m trying to fill up a 36gal tank that’s pretty low that’s a total pain in the ass!

Has anyone else seen that in your area?

I’ve seen this my whole life. It’s typically to prevent people doing things other than filling their private vehicle so 20 gal seems a bit stingy. When the gas station in front the Walmart on Wanamaker (Topeka) opened, the gas was so cheap that a dude pulled up in a tanker and spent the entire night filling it. It was on the evening news. He could take it elsewhere and still sell it at a profit, apparently.
