ST. PETERSBURG - Last October, Texaco corporate headquarters installed technology at some local gas stations requiring credit card customers to enter their ZIP codes before pumping gas. Texaco temporarily removed the technology from her pumps, but brought it back this month. And now it's here to stay. It's a security measure to prevent stolen credit cards from being used to purchase gas. And with the high price of gasoline, theft has been an increasing problem. 'It's annoying - it just takes more time,' one customer said, after punching in her ZIP code at the pump. 'And if someone stole it from around here, they'd know the ZIP code anyway.'
