My local grocery chain (Publix) typically runs a 2x a month promotion where you can buy a $50 gas card for $40 with a $50 grocery purchase. We end up buying pretty much all our gas at a nice discount that way. Plus, no worrying about the card skimmer criminals when you pay at the pump with a fairly small prepaid card. (Seems like 90% of the people I know who have had a credit card number stolen had it happen at a gas station outside card reader)
