And we definitely max out the FuelPerks by filling up the car with the biggest gas tank + a few gas cans for the full 30 gallon limit.

I'd say we wound up with at least (3000 / 50) x .20 x 30 = $360 in free gas from purchases we were going to make anyway - definitely a great deal! ^
I've been doing this for a while now at Safeway. They offered 4x gas bonus with gift cards purchases over Christmas and Valentines. $250 in gift cards = $1 off gas up to 30 gallons. I've been paying $1 off gas since December. Good thing I have 5 gas cans.
