Sponsored Fuel Costs in the USA

This is an interesting program which lets you turn your own car into a mobile advertising display. In return for carrying the advertising message or logo of a local or national business, they pay you up to $200 worth of petrol per month.

From my reading of the website, this scheme only applies in the United States, but it seems like a great way to get your fuel costs subsidised by someone else. You can even combine more than one advertising scheme to earn more fuel points.

For example, by combining a Rear Window Decal Advertisement with two Side Rear Window Decal Advertisements you can earn $100 worth of fuel per month.

The catch?

The main catch appears to be that you must drive at least 1000 miles per month. However, if you are a courier driver, or pizza delivery person, or one of a hundred other professions that are constantly on the road, covering a 1000 miles a month may not be a big issue.

Since you are going to be on the road anyway, why not get someone else to help with your fuel costs?

Here is the full schedule of advertising types and the dollar amount of fuel per month each ad is worth.
