This is correct. $100 used to be the standard, and a notice on many pumps still says that. If you are using credit, it shouldn't be a big deal. You really shouldn't be using credit right up to the limit anyway, so a few days shouldn't be a big deal.
OTOH, if you are using debit (or similar), that's actual money out of your pocket that you can't spend.
I recommend using a credit card anyway, since there are many with completely free rewards. Some even have 5% cash back, which is money right back into your pocket.
