DALLAS \u2013 <\/b>In honor of its 120th<\/sup> anniversary, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service is pumping up gas savings by doubling the discount for M<\/span>ILITARY S<\/span>TAR\u00ae<\/sup> cardholders.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

From July 24 to July 26, drivers fueling up with a M<\/span>ILITARY S<\/span>TAR\u00ae<\/sup> card at Army and Air Force gas stations will receive 10 cents off per gallon instead of the everyday 5-cents-per-gallon discount.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
