Default Gas w/ Credit or Cash

well i always fill up at shell near my house cause its the cheapest and im afraid of Arco.

thing is... ive been using cash to buy my gas.

with cash i always save 4 cents.

ie. gas today was 4.03

w/ cash i pay 3.99

now they offer a shell gas card that gives you 5 percent on your gas purchases. but ill be back to spending 4 more cents to use credit.

think cash will save me money or will the card eventually save me more money.

5% = .05 per dollar (ie: today gas $4.03) you pay $3.83 with the card.

I pay with my Amex Business Platinum Card!
Rewards are great and I get to write it off when I do my taxes.
