I pay at the pump and always use a credit card so thef is the bank's problem. Ultimately you won't lose with a debit card, but it can take a few days to get your account corrected. I've purchased thousands of dollars of fuel over the years by the way and have never had a problem.

At the pump but as time goes on I am thinking about changing my tactics. It is reaching the point where I will likely start using the CC and shelve the debit, ours has been replaced several times due to major companies data being hacked. Last thing I want is my account getting drained.
Even though the regulations went into effect, not all companies have it in place. Our service provider still is not able to support the new chip readers. Fortunately, all of our products are need based service items rather than wants which limits our risk. We're also a point of purchase transaction rather than internet sales and the majority of our phone transactions are with well known customers.
One other thing to consider is on October 1st the regulations regarding card fraud did change and put responsibility on the merchant which could be much more problematic if you're tagged by a skimmer. My CC and bank have already issued me the new RFID chip cards, I don't know all the specifics of the regulation changes but I'll stick with cash; the only time my debit comes out of the RFID blocking case it's in is at the ATM inside the main branch of my bank, I use my debit no other place...
