Has anybody tried using any of the alleged services such as mygallons.com? This is a service that offers to let you pay for gasoline at today's prices, then use those gallons later. If the price goes back up... sorry, I mean WHEN the price goes back up... you are still getting gas at the prices you originally paid.

Say, today gasoline is $2.00/ gallon... you pay for 500 gallons. You are now allotted 500 gallons of gasoline to use, no matter what the FUTURE price. If it's $6.00/ gallon later, you still have 500 gallons at your disposal, already paid for.

I'd love to just buy some 55- gallon drums of gasoline (at today's prices!), but the logistics of that just don't work for me. Gasoline degrades over time, and the idea of having those giant bombs on my property doesn't sit well with me, the family, or the fire dept.

So, this service seems to be another option, but I've also heard rumors of this (mygallons.com) being a scam, a rip-off, unstable. However, I don't know if that's just OPINION from those who scoff at any money- saving idea, or if it really is a sketchy prospect.

Anybody done it, used it, tried it? mygallons.com, or any other similar service?
