When you use a debit card in a gas station they do no know how much you

Yes, same deal. That is why it is not good to use a debit card for gas
stations and car rentals. They can tie up your funds for a while.

I had the same thing happen with a hotel, they reserve some amount
of money in case you charge things to the room or steal the towels,
whatever.

Of course, that was a credit card in my case. The pending charge
disappeared after a few days.
