Wife and I recently started a cash stash at home.
As MrCleanForHire always says, "cash is king." |

When you say "whip out my debit card and fill up the truck", are you paying at the pump?
If you fill up the truck and go to pay inside and your card gets denied, my assumption would be that if you have money at home, I would ask for your D/L(if I were the clerk), them come back with money. Or get a siphon and give it back 
We have some pumps around here that say if you pay at the pump, print the receipt. That way you can prove that you paid for it. I asked the clerk one time, " If i swipe my card, and it denies me, will the pump still allow me to pump gas?". I got the  look.

After we had a bad ice storm a few years ago that knocked out power in some areas for weeks I started making sure I always have cash at home.

Well this actually happened to me after Katrina. I lived north of Baton Rouge and we had no damage but all of the banks were headquartered in New Orleans or some crap like that.
None of the Debit cards worked. I kept 1000 dollars in small bills at the house just in case. This was a life saver for us. We didn't really have to worry about paying because we had cash on hand. |

I went through something on a smaller scale in Raleigh NC in the Ice Strom of 2002....but for the fact I had gassed up my car the nice before it hit I would have been without heat, radio, or transport to get to a functioning ATM outside of the area. Scary how dependent we have all become on Debit cards |

You should never let your tank get below 1/2 full, unless you are on a road trip.
