A gas credit card is a type of business credit card that provides benefits specifically for fuel-related expenses. These cards offer rewards, discounts, or cash back on fuel purchases, turning routine spending into meaningful savings for companies that rely on vehicles. Some cards offer flat-rate rewards at gas stations, while others give higher returns within certain networks or spending categories.

Whether you’re running a delivery fleet, managing field service teams, or building a new business, the right gas credit card transforms unavoidable fuel costs into profit opportunities while giving you complete spending control.

In this guide, Ramp compared the top business gas, fleet, and fuel cards by rewards, savings, and control features—so you can quickly find the right fit for how your business fuels and operates.

Summary: Best business gas credit cards by business type

Understanding different types of business gas cards

A company gas card—also known as a fleet gas card—allows employees to pay for fuel in company vehicles without using personal funds. These cards help track spending and remove the need for cash or reimbursement. Some advanced options even collect odometer readings and fuel usage data to improve efficiency and provide detailed analytics.

The most common types include fuel credit cards and prepaid cards. Credit-based fuel cards typically offer better reporting tools, higher limits, and help build business credit, while prepaid cards require loading funds in advance but don’t require credit checks. Fuel credit cards are ideal for established businesses that want stronger oversight and the ability to earn rewards or cash back on every purchase.

Fleet cards, such as WEX, are designed specifically for companies that manage multiple vehicles and need features like driver IDs, per-transaction limits, and custom reporting. Business gas credit cards offer similar control benefits while also earning rewards across other spending categories.

If your goal is to maximize rewards, choose a business gas credit card. If your priority is tighter spend control and detailed reporting, a fleet card may be the better option.

Why your business needs a dedicated gas credit card

If your business spends more than $500 monthly on fuel, you’re losing money and control without a dedicated gas card. Here’s what

(CNN) — A Blue Origin rocket is set to launch Thursday carrying an unconventional passenger in a history-making moment made possible by a high-profile former employee of the company’s biggest rival.

Michaela Benthaus, an aerospace and mechatronics engineer at the European Space Agency, will ride aboard the mission, known as NS-37, and become the first wheelchair user to travel to space. The unprecedented opportunity came together after encounter between Benthaus and Hans Koenigsmann, a former executive at SpaceX — Blue Origin’s chief competitor.

Koenigsmann, like Benthaus, is German, and the two of them were chatting during an event in Munich last year when Benthaus wondered aloud if she would ever be able to realize her dream of spaceflight in spite of a spinal cord injury that had left her unable to walk.

Koenigsmann then began quietly conspiring to make it happen.

“She said she was only thinking about a suborbital flight,” Koenigsmann told CNN on Monday. While SpaceX offers multimillion-dollar rides to Earth orbit, Blue Origin offers brief trips to suborbital space, so Koenigsmann called up his former competitor. “They responded really, really well to us,” he said.

Koenigsmann and Benthaus are now slated to fly as a team, alongside four other passengers, aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket. Similar flights have so far carried more than 80 people, including Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos, singer Katy Perry and famed “Star Trek” actor William Shatner, on 10-minute trips to the edge of space — traveling high enough to surpass the Kármán Line, which is a common demarcation line for space that lies 100 kilometers (62 miles) above sea level.

“When Hans told me, ‘Blue is excited about this,’ I was like, ‘Are you sure? Are you sure you understood them correctly?’” Benthaus told CNN Tuesday. “I always wanted to go to space, but I never really considered it something which I could actually do.”

The crew is set to launch as soon as Thursday at 8:30 a.m. CT (9:30 a.m. ET) from Blue Origin’s facilities near the remote town of Van Horn, Texas. The company will livestream the flight on its website.

Embracing uncertainty

During the brief, suborbital flight, Koenigsmann will serve as Benthaus’ companion — stepping in to assist her should the need arise.

If all goes as planned, Benthaus will be able to enter and exit the 15-foot-wide New Shepard capsule on her own, using a small bench.

Benthaus will also use a strap to keep her legs bound together — preventing them from splaying wildly as passengers exit their seats to briefly float in weightlessness at the top of the flight path. (Blue Origin flights typically offer passengers three or four minutes of zero gravity.)

She hopes to be able to return to her seat without issue, though Koenigsmann is prepared to lend a hand.

Koenigsmann will also help Benthaus in the event of an emergency that requires a speedy exit from the spacecraft.

“Blue Origin is super well prepared,” Benthaus said, noting that she and Koenigsmann previously traveled to the company’s Texas facilities twice to hash out specific accommodations for this flight.

‘Way too disabled’?

Advocates have long pointed out that space travel can be an ideal adventure for people with disabilities, as weightlessness can offer the chance to move about unbridled by gravity.

While no one with a mobility-limiting disability has yet traveled to space, there have been several notable strides forward in recent years. In 2021, Hayley Arceneaux, a cancer survivor who has a titanium prosthesis in her leg, spent three days in orbit as part of an experiment

El padre y el hijo sospechosos de llevar a cabo la masacre del domingo en Bondi Beach se refugiaron en un hotel durante la mayor parte de su estadía de casi un mes en Filipinas en noviembre, rara vez salieron de sus habitaciones y comieron comida rápida, afirmó a CNN un empleado del inmueble.

Sajid y Naveed Akram solo salían del edificio durante aproximadamente una hora por día, todos los días, antes de regresar a sus habitaciones, declaró el miembro del personal del hotel que solo se identificó como Jun.

No recibieron visitas durante su estancia en el establecimiento de la ciudad sureña de Davao, según el testigo.

El viaje de los Akram a Filipinas se ha convertido en un foco clave de las investigaciones sobre sus motivos y preparativos para su ataque antisemita, que mató a 15 personas en una celebración judía de Janucá en la mundialmente famosa playa de Sydney.

La policía australiana ha dejado claro que está trabajando arduamente para determinar qué hizo el dúo durante su estadía y si esto tuvo alguna relación directa con el ataque.

A principios de semana, la cadena pública australiana ABC informó que las autoridades antiterroristas del país creían que los hombres habían recibido entrenamiento militar durante su estancia en Filipinas.

Las autoridades filipinas han afirmado que aún no hay pruebas de que ambos hayan recibido entrenamiento militar y que están trabajando con sus homólogos australianos.

La isla meridional de Mindanao, cuya ciudad más grande es Davao, no es un destino turístico especialmente popular para extranjeros.

Como gran parte de Filipinas, presume de densas selvas, montañas y playas tropicales, pero ha padecido una dolorosa historia de extremismo islámico.

Y los expertos dicen a CNN que, aunque el terrorismo en Filipinas ha disminuido en los últimos años, muchos grupos militantes islámicos siguen activos y armados en regiones más remotas, y están dispuestos a entrenar a combatientes extranjeros que han llegado en masa a la nación del sudeste asiático.

Los Akram reservaron inicialmente una estancia de ocho días en el Hotel GV a partir del 1 de noviembre. El octavo día, extendieron su estancia hasta el 28 de noviembre y pagaron el saldo restante en efectivo.

El hotel donde se alojaron los hombres se describe en línea como una propiedad de una estrella con habitaciones a precios moderados.

La policía de Davao entrevistó a empleados del hotel GV el miércoles.

Jun dijo a CNN que los dos hombres fueron muy amables y respetuosos con el personal, los saludaron con sonrisas y les dijeron buenos días, buenas tardes y buenas noches.

También permitieron al personal ingresar a sus habitaciones para limpiarlas todos los días, y los trabajadores no encontraron nada extraño, solo paquetes de comida para llevar de Jollibee, la icónica cadena de pollo frito del país.

Jun afirmó que más tarde reconoció a los hombres cuando vio imágenes del ataque de Bondi. La única diferencia era que Naveed tenía el pelo más corto que cuando visitó el hotel.

El Gobierno filipino informó esta semana que está en contacto con sus homólogos policiales australianos.

“Reafirmamos nuestro apoyo a los esfuerzos que protegen a las comunidades de la intolerancia, el odio y la violencia”, escribió en X la ministra de Asuntos Exteriores, Theresa P. Lazaro, después de hablar con su homólogo australiano.

El asesor de Seguridad Nacional de Filipinas, Eduardo Ano, declaró el miércoles que aún no se han encontrado pruebas en la investigación sobre si los presuntos atac

New York (CNN) — Many workers fear artificial intelligence is coming for their jobs, an idea bolstered by warnings from AI leaders and anecdotes from a recent Federal Reserve report.

Yet new research finds the opposite is true – at least for now.

Jobs that are highly exposed to AI automation are growing faster than they did prior to Covid-19 – even faster than all other occupations, according to Vanguard.

The findings don’t necessarily signal an all-clear for workers worried about AI disrupting their careers. Some companies have recently reported they’re eliminating some positions because AI can automate entry-level workers’ tasks or make current workers more efficient.

Yet there’s no evidence the technology is doing widespread damage, at least not yet.

“At a high level, we have not seen evidence that AI-exposed roles are experiencing lower employment,” Adam Schickling, senior economist at Vanguard, told CNN in a phone interview.

The Vanguard analysis focused on roughly 140 occupations it deemed the most vulnerable to getting replaced by AI, including office clerks, typists, HR assistants, law clerks and data scientists.

These are jobs with the highest share of working hours performing tasks that AI systems could potentially automate with a high degree of autonomy.

In other words, these are the positions likeliest to shrink as AI explodes.

But that’s not happening. Not necessarily because AI isn’t a long-term threat to jobs, but because the tech just isn’t quite good enough yet.

AI-exposed jobs are growing

In fact, Vanguard found that employment among the occupations with high AI exposure increased by 1.7% during the post-Covid period of mid-2023 to mid-2025.

That’s a faster pace for these jobs than the 1% increase during the pre-Covid period (2015 to 2019).

By contrast, job growth has slowed for all other occupations, according to Vanguard.

Schickling said he purposely didn’t compare recent job trends with the 2020-2022 period because that was a very unusual time in the job market, making it an inappropriate baseline.

Wages are up, too

Vanguard found similar results for wages.

Occupations with high AI exposure experienced real wage growth (adjusted for inflation) of just 0.1% pre-Covid, according to Vanguard. But that has accelerated to 3.8% in the post-Covid period.

By comparison, all other occupations less exposed to AI have enjoyed a smaller acceleration in real wage growth, going from 0.5% pre-Covid to 0.7% post-Covid.

This finding is surprising. If AI were really damaging the job market, it should show up by shrinking paychecks.

“While AI may have started to change our workflows, its role in explaining the recent slowdown in job growth is overstated,” Vanguard said in the analysis.

‘We can’t just sleepwalk into it’

All of this data contrasts with the doomsday warnings from some economists and CEOs – including AI leaders.

In May, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned AI could eliminate half of all entry-level jobs in white-collar professions, spiking the unemployment rate up to 20% in the near future.

Mount Juliet, Tennessee (CNN) — Megan Schwalm is full of energy. She sees the excitement and ambition of every member of the coffee group she started three years ago. Yet she is often afraid to trust what she sees and feels — afraid she will be let down again.

“It’s a numbers game, right?” Schwalm said before a recent meeting of her Liberal Ladies Social Group. “And so while there are moments of hope for me, there are often overwhelming moments of hopelessness as well.”

The source of the competing hope and worry: a recent House special election in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District. The Democratic candidate lost by 9 points. A year ago, Republican Mark Green won by 22 points. (Green resigned his seat in July.)

“There was so much excitement,” Schwalm said.

But the reality of where she lives is not lost on her. “The numbers are the numbers. If we can keep closing that gap, that’s incredible. But gerrymandering makes it nearly impossible to win.”

Nearly impossible. It’s worth remembering that. But the energy among Democrats here is palpable, and they are vowing to do all they can to make Nashville and its suburbs a most unlikely 2026 midterm battleground.

“There’s something happening,” said Lisa Quigley, who was chief of staff to the last Democrat to represent the Nashville area in the House. “And so as long as we are smart enough to put our best players on the field, I think we’re going to be able to take advantage of that. And I think that next November is going to be a big year for us.”

Quigley, too, is aware of the daunting math.

The old 5th Congressional District included all of Nashville and some of its suburbs. It was represented by a Democrat for 148 years — from 1875 to 2023. But Republicans who now dominate state politics redrew the lines before the 2022 midterms.

Nashville was carved into three districts that stretch from the city into the suburbs and out to reliably Republican rural areas. Republicans won the new 5th, 6th and 7th Congressional Districts easily in both 2022 and 2024. President Donald Trump’s 2024 margins were lopsided: 18 points in the 5th, 35 points in the 6th, and 22 points in the 7th.

“Not easy, but doable,” is nonetheless Quigley’s 2026 take on flipping at least two of those three House seats.

Conversations with Democrats here just after the special election persuaded us to add a Tennessee visit to our “All Over the Map” project, an effort to track major political developments through the eyes and experiences of voters. Democratic successes throughout 2025 give the party reasons to be bullish heading into 2026. But Tennessee is ruby-red, and it would be extraordinary if the House seats that include parts of Nashville are truly competitive come next fall.

Schwalm moved to Mount Juliet from Iowa just as the new lines were taking hold. She’s 25 miles from Nashville, but it seems much farther.

“When you are here, it’s very clear you are in the Bible Belt,” Schwalm said. “Beliefs are very different from beliefs in Nashville, and politically it’s very different going from Nashville to here.”

After her move, Schwalm decided to reach out to a handful of other liberals she had met, then started a Facebook page.

“Within a matter of like two months, the group had grown to over 200 people online,” Schwalm said. “Now we’re almost at 700, and we have a
