What gas station would let any pump run that high a total on it? Cards used at the pump typically have around a $100 cap per transaction and if a clerk was paying attention they should notice that no vehicle is going to hold that much at one shot.
It's in litres so it's not in the states, but a most gas pumps in the where I used to live all removed the $100 limit because you couldn't fill up your 20+ gallon tank at $5-6 a gallon
231 liters is 61 gallons. A lot of commercial trucks have tanks in that size range, or bigger for full semis. Boats can pretty big as well, many into the 40s or 50s
