Rising gas prices are inspiring drivers to find new ways of protecting themselves against future increases–including buying gas in advance and investing in stocks that tend to rise along with the price of gasoline.
One new company, MyGallons.com, lets customers buy gallons ahead of time based on the current prices in their area–in theory, locking in a lower price–and then redeem those gallons at a later date, regardless of any price increases in the interim.
Before today, I had no idea that this event existed. I know that August 24 is a few months in coming, but I thought I would post this interesting video about the need for turning our lawns into vegetable gardens. The gentleman in the video discusses the many reasons why everyone should dedicate at least some portion of their lawn to a productive garden, but his mention of $3 gasoline dates it slightly. Oh wait…$3 wasn’t that long ago….the fear of $4 gas is becoming more and more real.
