Electron loss by fast heavy ions resulting from interactions with dilute gaseous targets is discussed. Of particular interest is how the cross sections scale as the target nuclear charge increases. Various theoretical models that have been proposed are discussed and compared with available experimental data. It is shown that none of these models yield good agreement with data but that by combining ideas and concepts contained within different models agreement can be obtained.
