All assuming you resist the temptation of overpriced candy bars and sodas etc. when you do all those $40 purchases,otherwise the evil empire wins.
Aha, so there's the key.
So, I'll probably just fuel in $40 batches between now (I'm in WLG) and AKL and then redeem on one big massive from-dead-empty fill up before returning the rental car. Would that work to maximize it?
And yes, I've been guilty of buying things...I'm now addicted to ginger beer (which we don't really have Stateside)...
