Do you get a receipt at the gas station?

No never.

It's part of how I keep paper clutter out of my life. Never take any unnecessary papers.

I don't take restaurant, fast food, or gas receipts. If I'm asked "do you need a receipt" for anything, my answer is always no.

No.

DH always does, as he has a fuel card as part of his car package, and needs to hand the receipts in to work, so they can cross check them with the accounts.

Yes. It is proof of purchase in case you are falsely accused of diriving away without paying.

I use to always print it but I have lately been saying no.  

All that it did was sit around and collect with other receipts, which I just end up shredding.  I would never know if they overcharged me by a few cents or dollars and I never compare the receipts to my statement.  I would know if I was overcharged by a lot or if I was double charged, but I think I could resolve that without the receipt.

Never. We have to pay before we pump.

Absolutely!  I am parionoid that if I don't have a receipt and drive off after I pumped my gas that the cops will pull me over for stealing gas.  If I have a receipt I have proof I purchased the gas!

A few years ago I decided to stop doing it. It just ended up in the garbage anyway. I will get one though if it isn't my usual place or out of state. Once I see it on my online account, I toss it.

No, I don't get a receipt - just extra paper that will eventually end up in the trash

I get a receipt for everything and toss it once it comes through my statement. And yes, once I was charged for another person's gas because of a malfunction on their part. I don't know if having the receipt would have changed the situation but I did have it and used the info to report it. I also always get one at the grocery store (and everywhere else). I have been overcharged several times and the receipt was my only proof. Funny I never find them undercharging me haha

Yes always, not only for gas but everything I buy and I keep all receipts for my credit or debit card payments until they've gone through my bank or credit card statement. I toss the cash ones when I get home.

Not anymore.

For those of you who are concerned with the station saying you didn't pay, here is a story. I used to use Exxon thingy that you swiped at the pump to prepay. I did it but it didn't register but it allowed me to pump the gas. I left and then looking at my account, I realized that it didn't register. I knew the date and time so I went back to the store to pay for the gas, they looked at me like I had 2 heads and told me "then it was your lucky day" and said to just go. I know that isn't the norm but it was odd.

I do not print the receipts. More waste, more clutter, more crap. I understand for business purposes but my BIL keeps them for all his cars and then he puts them into a binder and tracks the gas mileage of each of his cars. It's part of the history of the cars. He builds cars in his spare time and races in rally cross so while I get it, I don't get it. They also have small bags of receipts. If it is over 30 days old, it gets tossed unless it is a big ticket item that I may need for warranty purposes.

No. My regular stations are prepay, but even if they weren't, I'd just use my credit card records to show I paid. The only time I use a receipt, is if I'm using the car wash and they put the code on the receipt.
