Over the past 18 months, the steady increase in the cost of gasoline has been a gut-punch to the budgeting process of many American households. It might not be the biggest line-item in your budget, but an extra $100-$200 a month can sting.

Our editors have compiled a list of the best cash back credit cards for gas. Some cards will offer the same cash back rate on all purchases, including gas. Others will include “gas” or “travel-related” as special categories with higher cash back rates. In this case, it’s important to know whether the card has static bonus categories or if they rotate each month or each quarter.

About Our Ratings
Our editors rate credit cards objectively based on the features the credit card offers consumers, the fees and interest rates, and how a credit card compares with other cards in its category. Ratings vary by category, and the same card may receive a certain number of stars in one category and a higher or lower number in another.
The ratings are the expert opinion of our editors, and not influenced by any remuneration this site may receive from card issuers.
Advertisers in our database are highlighted, and advertisements include an option to apply using links on our site. CardRatings.com may be compensated by companies mentioned on the site when a user's application is accepted or approved by such companies.
