Gas Credit Cards

I have been researching credit cards and gas cards for the last couple years now. One of the cards that has the best returns is a Shell card. What comes in second is Chase. Given that RVing requires a lot of gas and utilities (lp tanks) that get purchased at gas stations. What do you use for a CC? There isn't one universal card for Coast to Coast use because most gas stations are typically grouped into regions. What I have found, for myself, is my REI credit card. The 2% I will get back is used for camping gear replacement every year. I will probably average into the 100s to a 1000 as I already get back about 250$ each year with normal use. So what do you use for coast to coast use?

    I have a Visa CC that gives cash back on fuel and propane. 5% comes off the monthly bill every month for fuel and propane. It's a generic CC card and hence the discount applies nation wide. At Cosco fuel for example I swipe my Am Ex Cosco card and then my Visa card to pay 5% less.

    This card is no longer available but others have posted various cards.

    Cards like Shell genearlly mean you will pay a higher Shell price for fuel than the station across the street IMHO. Hence that card actually costs more.
