    I prefer TCH for a fuel card. Every truck stop out in the sticks takes TCH (even if they have to get on the phone and give them a call to run the card), and that's what you want in a fuel card; one you can actually use. You get a same as cash fuel discount which is usually over $0.04/gal, and I've seen it as high as $0.08/gal, so unless you're funding your fuel card off your credit card, it should be out of the equation if you have under 8% cash back.

    Some of my credit cards are as much as 5% cash back on gas, but I think most are 3%. At $4 a gal for diesel, with only 3% cash back, that's a 12 cent discount. Am I expecting too much looking for a fuel discount card that let's me use my CC to buy fuel? After all, when I fill up my car with gas at Maverick, I use my Maverick Card to get a 2 cent per gal discount at the pump, then I swipe my CC.

    Nastc gives you an average of ~20cents off the cash price, and at some stations over 40. If you pay with a credit card relying on cash back, you're lucky if you even get the cash price

    I've been accused of that before, but in this case, just trying to find out the best way to buy fuel.
