Would suck if prices went down.

And that there is the catch...

Buy them now like savings bonds then will them off to your kids..would that work? Its just a thought I had......

This is exactly how Southwest Airlines has been able to do so well lately without all the BS price hikes and such. They did a hedge buy on fuel many years ago and are paying about 50 dollars a barrel for fuel. Not with this service mind you, I'm just sayin'

Having said all that, I think this particular service is going to fail...they don't tell you how much you are being charged for the gas until AFTER you activate your card. How can you decide if it is worth it if they set the price but won't tell you that price until after you provide the means to pay for it? Plus, there is a membership fee. And an overdraft fee.

this sounds like a scam.

they have to make money somehow...otherwise they wouldn't be doing it...

Old adage: if it sounds too good to be true it usually is. Aside from those testimonials, have any plimates actually tried it? I trust you more than them.

Why not just stockpile a bunch of gas in your basement and cut out the middle man?

I used to work for a major railroad. This advanced fuel purcahsing is how they keep things running, purchasing hundreds of thousands of gallons of fuel at a time. And you are right... they get hosed if the prices drop significantly.
