Is this the best way to defeat gasoline price increases?

Question

Either form a consumer cooperative and the coop purchases gasoline in large enough quantities to supply its members for a full year and they lock in the price at the beginning and thus negate all future increases until the end of the year when they make their next purchase, The earlier the members buy memberships the longer they can take advantage of the locked in price. You must pay the annual membership fee. Hopefully they will eventually expand to 5 year lock ins! I see only increases with no drops in price! or you make a deal with your local gas station and guarantee to him that you'll only buy from him if he offers you a locked in price for a specified time frame!

Answer 1

sounds likea good idea ~~

Answer 2

This is a good way. I know several people who are farmers and have the tanks and space to store large amounts of gasoline and diesel. They buy all their gasoline in the winter when it is cheap and all their diesel in the summer when it is cheap. The problem is that there are rules about how much gasoline you can store before you have to apply for a license. As far as a coop goes I think the administrative and storage costs may be too high for this to make financial sense but it is worth looking into.

Answer 3

The latter. And what replaced into the reaction to that? Our national velocity shrink replaced into decreased to fifty 5. squaddies have been everywhere to enforce it.vehicle makers made smaller gas valuable vehicles. Now costs are at a record. what's the reaction? velocity limits are up. purely approximately in no way do you spot a cost ticket being written. SUVs are everywhere. the recommendations-set now could be, blame the government, oil companies, center east, anybody different than me. We hate the intense costs, yet no one needs to sacrifice something to diminish them. And approximately September, while summer season driving is up, the charges will lower back pass down. the american public will lower back forget approximately all approximately it. Then next summer season, approximately this time, they are going to pass greater yet. it is going to take place each year till the regular public finally be certain that we'd desire to resign slightly. force slightly slower. Take much less journeys. do no longer take tha holiday. Sacrifice some thing. in basic terms then will issues exchange. yet till then, get exhilaration from your $4 gas.

Answer 4

Will never work. As production is reduced (likely intentionally) it reduces the supply, as the supply is reduced, the demand is increased......and that means you pay more. The gas stations would have to pay more, and would take a loss.
The only 2 solutions are to reduce our dependence on gas, or for big oil companies to quit lining their pockets and try to help the people. Realistically, Neither will happen untill we have no choice.
Good thinking outside the box, though.

Answer 5

no right minded gas station owner is going to lock you in on a set price when the market for oil goes up and down
the station owner wants his cut just as much as the gas company
theres nothing faster going up than a dress on prom night
and thats gas prices

Answer 6

This would never work.

How about this: keep your tires inflated, your air filter clean and your engine tuned up. I have a 97 Ford and I get 30 mpg in town! 35 mpg on the highway.

Answer 7

As long as demand continues to rise, so will the price.
