...when you fill up at 1/2 tank so you don't exceed the 25 gallon fuel discount.

Still, I'd take a 35 gallon cap, rather than a 25 gallon cap.

As it is, I fill up every payday anyway, so usually I only need between 25 and 30 gallons per fill up. It's just annoying to use the fuel discount, have it hit 25 gallons, then have to drop the pump handle back on the pump itself, wait for the transaction to finalize, swipe my card again, put the last 3-5 gallons in it, then drive off.

They're trying to tell you fuel is too darned expensive. I agree!

Try the phone number 867 5309 with your area code first. I use it most times and it usually has tons of points on it

And to add... If you have a 2WD Ex you quickly learn that it will sink into mud like you are driving in quick sand.

I looked and looked. I heard it shifting and doing it's thing (I had just passed an off ramp so I knew where it came from) but had no visual. It was like having a fighter jet flying around you and being in a bomber... only thing is the fighter jet has no weapons and if I hit it... I don't even want to know what would happen.
He was hiding under you?
