An interesting concept to think about getting involved in, perhaps as something more than just a customer.

Aren't gasoline futures what's driving the cost of gasoline up now anyway?

I wouldn't know. I heard it was the something to do with the refineries.

Exactly, looks like a case of futures options on the price of gas as a hedging strategy...

Heh. Don't expect the prices to come down very much before the recession.

There are always grease cars.

Nice idea. Similar to how propane and fuel oil is sold- makes sense. I'd join if they had a local branch.

I think it's a terrific idea. They don't have one where I live; and since I live in the southeast, I'm sure that if the business expands, we will be the last to get one.
