While I certainly wouldn't mind free gas, I don't like this idea either. Let's say you give me an Exxon card. That means I need to go to Exxon, which generally has the most expensive gas in the area, so the $25 you give me buys less gas than if you gave me $25 cash and I took it to the US Gas station down the street. I wouldn't want to give Exxon my business and support them when they are overcharging so much.

Just another reason I dislike gift cards.
