Your card can be used at automatic fuel dispensers; however, an authorization of $75 or more may be posted to your account. This authorization may not be deleted from your account for several days.

Most merchants can run a split-tender transaction which will allow you to pay a portion of your purchase with your card and the remaining balance with another form of payment.

Not liking Irish food okay, but it's a big city and you can get food from almost any culture there!
I agree! I'll probably spend more money on drink than on food! Also -- re: getting Euros beforehand -- I would recommend that you get a small amount of Euros before you leave the states -- but if you're doing cash, I would exchange the rest from US travelers checks when you get to Ireland. In my experience, you can almost always get a better exchange rate there than here.
