There is no best gas card for teenagers. Teens under 18 are prohibited by law to have their own credit cards. You can, however, add them as authorized users to your credit card account.

By doing so, you can teach them how to use a credit card responsibly, and you can also help them build credit from a young age.

Teens absolutely can have their own gas cards. This can be in the form of a prepaid cards from a gas station or a prepaid gift card from visa/mastercard that can be used for gas and reloaded. Teens can also have debit cards of their own checking account and parents can transfer money to the card for gas. It doesn’t have to be a credit card.
