    Just stock up on gasoline futures when they’re cheap, then trade them in at the pump when you need it. Then you never have to worry again!

        They were being facetious and pretending your average person could just buy gas the same way that oil barrel speculation works, almost like buying vouchers. It was pretty good one so I don’t want them to have yo explain the joke haha.

          Actually, where I live there is (or at least was) a business that allowed you to buy something akin to “gasoline futures”, basically you could just buy X liters of gas or diesel and then use them up overtime using a client card or something like that. Not too sure how it worked, forgot the name too.
