I have done the same thing with my propane, but never asked about gasoline. I prepay in the summer months for the next seasons propane. Usually I come out to the good.

Would Be Nice to be able to get Instead Of A $50 Dollar Gift Card You Could Buy A 50 Gallon (or How Ever Much You Want) Gift Card At That Days Price

Find a small supplier to sell you gas. You will need your own storage tank. But you only need maybe a 300 gal tank. Out in the country the supplier will supply the tank a lot of times. Then pre pay what you want to and have them deliver it as you need it.
Stay away from the commodities. Unless you have very thick skin and a big bank account.

Do a little research and find an energy mutual fund. Deposit some money in the fund. As the price of energy goes up so will your fund. This way you have hedged your costs.
