About Gate Petroleum
Gate Petroleum is a privately held company that operates a network of gas stations and convenience stores under the “Gate” brand, primarily throughout Florida and parts of the Southeastern U.S. Their locations typically offer gasoline and diesel fuel, along with a convenience store stocked with snacks, beverages, prepared foods, basic groceries, and automotive essentials. Many locations also feature car washes and branded food or coffee options.
A charge labeled like “GATE #1210 05-21 TALLAHASSEE FL” on your statement most likely corresponds to an in-person purchase at a Gate gas station and convenience store in Tallahassee, Florida, with “#1210” indicating the specific store number and “05-21” representing the transaction date. The amount could reflect fuel pumped at the pump, items bought inside the store, or a combination of both. In some cases, you may initially see a higher or rounded “preauthorization” amount for fuel that later settles to the actual purchase total.
If you have questions about this charge, start by checking any fuel or store receipts from around the transaction date and confirming the location you visited. You can also review your bank’s transaction details for the exact date and amount. To resolve issues such as suspected fraud, incorrect amounts, or duplicate charges, contact your card issuer first to review the transaction, then reach out to Gate Petroleum’s customer service or the specific store (using the store locator on their website) with the date, time, and amount so they can look up the transaction in their system. Keeping your fuel and in-store receipts for a few days after purchase can make it easier to reconcile any discrepancies.
