even if you get a amex at 3 miles per dollar you can sell the best miles at 1.7 which doest make up the 2% difference.

Which Amex card gives you MR at 3ppd on gas? PRG only gets you 2, leaving you well short, and the BCP give you cashback, not MR points.

IIRC PenFed recently devalued the rewards, it's points not % back and 5ppd ≠ 5%

Devalued rewards for travel?

you can always do the simple cash back at 5% with the cash rewards plus card.

I'm not really familiar with PenFed.

Are your gas purchases under $400 each?
