I agree unless you will use almost or more than one tank of gas. In that case it can be more convenient to "buy" their tank of gas which is generally competitive with local prices. After the first tank, try to estimate how much more you may need and buy just that much. Try to bring the car back as empty as you can. They don't charge you for filling the tank if you bought it in advance.
If you don't think you'll use that much, though, aephi alum is right -- and in that case, be sure to fill up just before you return the car or they will charge outrageous prices per gallon.
