Gas Relief
Here is a possible relief to the high gas prices.
MyGallons is similar to joining any other price club such as Sam's, COSTCO, etc., there is an annual membership fee of $29.95, with $1.95 per fill up and it is backed by a money-back guarantee.
Basically, you pre-purchase fuel at your current MyGallons price and when you are ready to fill up your vehicle, simply visit any of the over 200,000 participating filling stations. The web site states that if a station can accept a regular credit card, it can accept a MyGallons card.
Text messages or e-mails alert MyGallons members to the daily prevailing gas price for their area, helping them not only to decide whether the time is right to redeem pre-paid gas but also whether it is a good time to load their account up with more gas if the price drops.
Recently it was reported that the company received an "F" from the Better Business Bureau citing what it called a material omission of fact in the publicity material distributed as part of the service's launch. MyGallons said its gas redemption program used the Voyager fleet network, a bank-card processing service owned by U.S. Bank, but the bank failed to honor their agreement. MyGallons is currently looking for a new payment network.
You can look at the historical gas prices and see how much gas has risen this year. There is also a good article you can read on fuel speculation.
