• Best Petrol & Fuel Credit Cards 2026: Save ₹5,000–15,000 a Year — At ₹100+/litre, the right fuel credit card saves ₹5,000–15,000 a year. We compared 5 cards — BPCL SBI Octane, Indian Oil Axis, HDFC Indian Oil, ICICI HPCL Coral, and Axis Ace — by net annual saving at your pump network. Updated September 2026.
• Credit Card Fuel Surcharge Waiver in India 2026: The 1% Fee, Bank-Wise Caps, and Where It Silently Doesn't Apply — Every fuel fill-up on a credit card carries a 1% surcharge by default — and most cards refund it as a standard benefit. But the refund isn't unconditional: it's capped by transaction size, by monthly total, or both, and the cap varies sharply between HDFC, SBI, ICICI, and Axis. Miss the band and you pay the full surcharge without realising it.
