Call it $4/gallon for rounding, and its $320/month or about $3,800/year or 3,800 frequent flier miles. At $0.35/gallon savings, that is $336 per year in savings. $0.10 per Frequent flier mile is pretty cheap. Plus you got to figure in the $0.50 per debit card charge 2x per week (two cars), that is another $50 or so per year of cost.

When I fill up at an ARCO they charge me 30 cents to use the debit card.
I really don't care where people buy their gas, I just all het up when people suggest you get what you pay for or that the 'spensive stuff is better than the cheaper stuff when it's all the same.
BTW yer math made my head explode.
