gas prices
This is a bit off topic but as landlords we try to save on gas driving from property to property.
Right now gas prices are trending low and may stay that way for a bit or it seems. I found this web site that allows you to pre-purchase gas at a "current price" by the gallons and cash in later...so essentially you can buy say 500 gallons of gas at $2.50 a gallon and have it loaded on a card, and wait six months, if the gas prices go up you can save a bit by using your gas card purchased with past prices.

Anyone familiar with this company? If so would like to get some feedback. I haven't created an account yet and there is an annual membership fee $30 and pre-purchase processing fee of 6% to participate.
Now what if they go out of business in six months?
Any other sites or resources for similar ideas? Basically a way to lock in today's gas prices?
