As of 2017, the average American will spend over $1,500 on gas purchases. Whether you are commute long distances for work, always on-the-go with your family, or just simply spend a lot of time out and about, the time and money spent at gas stations eventually add up. So, for this post, we will provide you credit cards that will help you save money on your gas purchases.
Note: Be sure to read the details carefully to see if there is a cash discount or credit card surcharge. Many gas stations now charge you extra for using a credit card to pay for your gas. It may vary at times on your better judgement if it’s cheaper to use a rewards credit card or simply pay cash.
