Beware of excessive holds at Love's Travel Stops (self.ohio)

So I had to travel across Ohio yesterday to pick someone up unexpectedly. The person I had to pick up was waiting at one of those Love's gas stations and I need to put some gas in the car to have enough to return home. I have a sedan and put in about $30 worth. I check my credit card online to plan how much I need to set aside to pay off my credit cards and they placed a $175 hold for that $30 purchase of fuel. This post is to warn everyone else about these holds. There is a class action lawsuit on this as well.

My recollection is that Visa did a $75 hold and MasterCard did $50 or vice versa. Then came really expensive gas and trucks with 40 gallon tanks, so they upped it significantly.
