Most people are not bright. As always, prices will peak this summer. Buy a 55 gallon drum or 10, fill them up, pay the price now, lick your wounds and this summer when it hits $4/gallon you will be happy, better yet, pay the $4 this summer and save the gas for next year when its $6/gallon. I don't know if gas goes bad or if its active ingredients diminish over time, but the fact is, its always going to go up, so accumulate some now so when it gets insane (or, more insane) stockpile some now, I am willing to bet any amount of money that you will NEVER see gas fall below $3 at this point. So, suck it up, plan up, and move on!
