There are a couple of American Express cards that give you 3% cash back on Gas (including one with a low annual fee, that also gives 6% back on groceries up to the first $6000 spent per year).

That helps.

There's a gas station chain near me that doesn't play ads, usually has the best prices, and gives 10c off per gallon if you use their app linked to a checking account...that helps, too.

I miss the days when that was the better deal...
