Better not do a drive off in Iowa

Check out this story from the Des Moines Register about Gov. Vilsack signing into law legislation that would allow authorities to suspend the drivers license of anyone caught stealing gasoline. Kansas and Missouri both have laws and it does help cut down on theft to some extent.

Here is the story:

On a related note, Quik Trip is testing a program with a gasoline card that basically allows you to pump first at the pump when paying cash. Those that get the card have registered info to get the card, including the drivers license number. Apparently the program is working very well, and I would not be too suprised to see other chains try to copy it.
