Canadians CAN pay at pump in the US!

Canadians driving in the USA know what I am talking about. You're at the gas station pump. You just want to to gas and go. BUT.

You swipe your Canadian credit card at the pump...

ENTER ZIP CODE.

Crap. Canada doesn't have zip codes. We have Postal Codes. Now go wait in line, foreigner. Twice. Once to leave your card. Again to go back and sign.

NOW you don't have to! Here is the secret.

At the Zip Code Prompt:

1. Enter the numbers from your postal code. Ignore those metric-y letters
2. Add "01"

Try it. You will like it.
