Here is the limitation on Discover Gas Card
"Earn a full 5% Cashback Bonus on your first $1,200 in annual gas and auto maintenance purchases"
With current gas price and my gas filling frequency (2 times/week or roughly 100times/year), it'd comes to $5000/year. The last $3800 only get around 1%. Not much.

I heard good stuff about 76, but there really isn't any 76 dealers in SOCAL that I've seen.

Thanks for the tip, Mike.
I'll give it a shot. Both wife and I will apply for 2 cards. After a couple of months, I'll call customer service for removing that restriction. Sound like a plan.
I don't like Shell gas as much as Chevron. Once I have the card, I'll go with Chevron all the way.

What cha talkin bout, Willis?
There is a 76 station right off the 73 by UCI. That's where I go for my 100/91 octane mixture before engaging in some spirited driving. ![Big Grin](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/biggrin.gif)

Does 100 octane really effect performance on stock cars? I mean sure, if you're turboed or modded out, but completely stock?

Here's the address:
2690 San Miguel Dr, Newport Beach CA.
According to my dyno-butt meter, my car felt stronger and more responsive after the 100/91 mixture. Also, I walked heezy545i up top end a few weeks back. His car and mine are identical except for his being 6speed and mine SMG.
