I am outside the city by 25 miles. This is horrible all around and these are hard times. I don't mind the filling out of offers and whatnot to save $2.00 a gallon but lets all do the math. If you have to sign up for netflix as an example to get a gas card that saves $2.00 a gallon well how many total gallons does the card save you versus the cost of the monthly netflix subscription? If the card is worth say 50 gallons of gas and at $2.00 a gallon savings that equals $100 for me but netflix, a subscription I have never had costs me $10 a month for a 12 month commitment than I just spent $120 to save $100. I am now $20 less in my budget. Granted, I have a few movies to watch now each months but what is the point to the "savings"? Now imagine that you have complete multiple "offers" from the gas relief site. You can easily cost yourself more than you are saving. DO THE MATH and see if there really is a savings towards your overall budget or if in fact you are hurting yourself. I am paying $4.50 plus a gallon in NY. I am outside the city by 25 miles.
