New program from QuikTrip targets 'drive-offs' at gas stations
David Dinell

After losing $1 million during a 12-month period from customers who did not pay for gasoline at Wichita-area QuikTrip stores, company officials are implementing a new payment system March 11.

The system, called PumpStart, allows customers to fill up their vehicles after providing the company with their driver's license, which is then copied into the company's computer system.

Customers are then issued a special card that they can use to pump their gas. After that, they then can go into the store and pay.

If they drive off without paying, the card is canceled and their name and address are turned over to police.
