What is "Gas Charge"?

Fuel is a company that helps you manage your car expenses, like gas and insurance, through easy monthly subscriptions. They make it simple to keep track of your bills, bundling services so you can focus on driving without worrying about payments. If you see a charge from them, it's likely for their subscription services that make your car ownership hassle-free.

Gas Charge: The overall amount you were billed for fuel at the gas station.
Merchant Name: The name of the gas station where you made the purchase.
Transaction Date: The date when you bought the gas.
Transaction Time: The time of day when you filled up your tank.
Location: The specific address or city where the gas station is located.
Payment Method: The way you paid for the gas, such as by debit card or credit card.
Amount of Gas: The total volume of fuel you purchased, usually given in gallons or liters.
Price per Gallon: The cost of gas for each gallon that you purchased.
Total Cost: The final price you paid for the gas, including any taxes or fees.
Transaction Reference Number: A unique number assigned to your purchase for tracking and verification.

Verify With Receipt

The best way to tell if this charge is fraudulent is to find the receipt. You may have an electronic copy of the receipt, which Chargeback can help you find by searching your email accounts.

Chargeback helps you identify unwanted subscriptions and charges, and help you fight them to get your money back.

Why do people get charges like this from Fuel?

Subscription Fees: Many users may not realize they signed up for a subscription service that charges a recurring fee.
Usage Charges: Customers who utilize services such as roadside assistance or emergency fuel delivery might see one-time charges related to those services.
In-app Purchases: Users may inadvertently make purchases within the app, such as premium features or upgrades.
Trial Period Conversions: Some users might have signed up for a free trial that later converts to a paid subscription, leading to unexpected charges.
Account Upgrades: Chosen upgrades to service levels can result in higher charges, which users might overlook.
Fees for Additional Services: Optional services like insurance or enhanced customer support may come with extra fees.
Transaction Errors: Occasionally, users report duplicate charges or errors that can lead to unexpected fees on their statements.
Promotional Offers: Discrepancies in promotional offers can lead to unexpected charges when the promotion expires or conditions are not met.

If I see this charge, what should I do?

If you see this charge and aren’t expecting it, you have various options.

First, try to contact the fuel.cars via one of the support methods we listed below and inquire about the charge. See if they will refund it and cancel any associated subscriptions you might have.

If the fuel.cars refused to issue a refund or you cannot get in touch with the company, call your bank or financial institution and open a credit card dispute. Record screenshot evidence from your prior conversations with fuel.cars, and use that to open your credit card dispute. Tell your bank or credit card issuer that you do not recognize the charge and do not recall signing up for the service.

If this sounds like too much of a hassle, you can have Chargeback do it for you.
