Hi Everyone,
Obviously this info will vary in how it helps depending on everyone's geographical location, current gas prices, the car you drive, and personal preference. However, now that I finally have my own car, this is how I plan to save big money on gasoline:
My card of choice - Citi Driver's Edge Mastercard
My gas station of choice - Speedway/Super America
Take a standard fillup of 10 gallons at $2.50 per gallon = $25.00
Speedway initial gift card discount of 2% = $0.50 ($1 off $50). This discount is storewide. Load a gift card with $50 and pay $49.
6% cash back with Citi card on $24.50 = $1.47
Citi Driver's Edge Rebates, 300 miles at $.01 per mile = $3.00
(My car is a Honda Civic, so it gets an average of 30 miles/gallon)
Entertainment Book $1 coupon off 8 gallon or more fillup = $1.00
Speedy Rewards Points earned with $25 purchase = 500 points
(Usually 10 points per dollar, but with gift card discount you receive an additional 500 points, so it's like receiving double points)
NOTABLE SPEEDY REWARDS REDEMPTION LEVELS:
1,750 points = 10 cent per gallon discount on next fillup (max 25 gallons)
4,375 points = 25 cent per gallon discount on next fillup (max 25 gallons)
8,750 points = 50 cent per gallon discount on next fillup (max 25 gallons)
17,500 points = $25 Speedy Cash Gift Card (BEST REDEMPTION)
So as you can see, the savings potential is enormous. When all is said and done, and even before the Speedy Rewards points, you can save a total of $5.97 off $25, or a total of 60 cents per gallon at $2.50 per gallon.

I believe charging a giftcard over the casher doesn'e earn 3% rebate.
I know it because I tried the same thing long ago with the 5% dividend card, and I got only 1%.
I can be wrong. driver's card may work differently from dividend card.
