After I've pumped $50s worth of gas the pump cuts off and you can't get anymore. I think you can probably get around that though by starting a new transaction with a different credit/debit card.

Many service stations here limit your gas purchase to $50 and it has never bothered me.

Ya, i don't know that you can pull off a lawsuit for it, but i agree it is quite annoying. I came from a Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 23gal tank and can easily dropped over $80 into that thing in one filling.
I just laugh at the "you ran it on empty for too long", where in the manual do they say you should keep the tank over 1/2 way filled? If a fuel pump is having trouble getting gas all the way up from teh bottom of the tank, perhaps you designed the car with the wrong fuel pump

as i said before, mine cuts off randomly to, and someone said to turn the handle to the side, and pump. i tried this, and doesn't work all the time, but then i pulled out the pump a few inches, then turned the handle to the left, and i was able to put 8 more gallons in this way, i was just afraid to pump it all the way up since it probably wouldn't shut off until it was overflowing
