So I get 3% back on the cost of the cards via cash back on my credit cards and the fuel points add up to save me around .40 cents a gallon. Bout the best I can do to be able to ride this summer. Otherwise boat is gonna be doing a lot of sitting.
everyone has an angle and love your thinking. have done similar math here for the fuel rewards and the price difference on our weekly grocery basket shopping a kroger banner vs walmart made all the gas savings a moot point. smiths(krogers banner here) is just plain expensive. nice stores but we found our average weekly market basket at $140 went up to $155 when shopping smiths and that's if we don't buy any cleaners/toiletries(smiths is just plain stupid-priced on that stuff) which then drives an extra stop.

our gas here is almost at $5/gal. premium is over that.
