Any fuel you "save" will only increase supply, thus forcing prices lower, and consumption by other people up.
Without a worldwide conservation plan, individual conservation is next to pointless for the environment. However, it's extremely relevant to the conservationists pocketbook.
Save up the discounts until you reach the maximum, and then bring gas cans along with an empty fuel tank. Get the maximum amount of fuel at the discount that you can.

If more people did it... yeah.
It's just like anything though- do you want to be part of the solution or part of the problem? No, I'm not going to argue that burning any fuel at all makes one part of the problem. It's how efficiently one's tasks get completed.
I do the gas can thing too but in the end it seems to be more of a psychological benefit- satisfies my hoarding genes- than a monetary one.
