It's usually set by the gas/fuel station corporation through the "point of sale" (POS) system. It's a way for the corporations to limit losses through fraud. No way to up the limit amount. Truck stops will have higher limits on the truck islands.
It's a pain and now the stations are adding $.10 per gallon when you use your credit or debit card.
Guess we need to begin carrying large amounts of cash....
I've never bought gas at a station that charged $.10/gallon for credit card use. I've not shopped at any, but if I had, I would have driven in one side and out the other, non-stop.
