The Simple Fuel-Saving Trick I Use Every Month

Fuel is a non-negotiable expense, and with prices creeping up, finding effortless ways to trim the bill matters.

Here is how I consistently cut my fuel costs every month using a simple card routine.

The Numbers: Power vs. Regular Petrol

I previously used premium fuel, but switching to regular alongside card perks made a measurable difference:

• Shell Power Petrol: ~₹122/litre (saving ₹30 on ₹1,100 via the Shell app, plus card cashback).
• Regular Petrol: ~₹111/litre.
• Effective Price with OneCard: ~₹104/litre after ~6% cashback and a 1% fuel surcharge waiver (capped at ₹400/month).

What the Annual Savings Look Like

• Monthly fuel spend: ~₹3,500
• Annual fuel spend: ₹3,500 × 12 = ₹42,000
• Annual cashback (at ~6%): ₹42,000 × 6% = ₹2,520

I save roughly ₹2,500 every year without doing anything extra, simply by using the right credit card.
