I would personally feel very uneasy selling people I know gas (it looks and is weird), and I wouldn't want to be selling strangers gasoline from my house. Basically theses deals balance profit with effort, and whoever is re-selling gas from this deal is not accurately valuing their time and efforts. It is also fairly obvious that if anything is going to kill this deal it would be the widespread awareness that this ridiculous activity is going on.
Coworker 1: "Hey coworker #2, I have too many gas points that I won't be able to use. How about you pay me $10/$15/$20 and use my giant card to fill up on your lunch break?"
Coworker 2: "Sure, sounds good. Thanks."

Haven't done it myself but doesn't sound inconvenient, dangerous, weird, or a poor value of time.
