concept is great but youll never lock yourself into a cheap gas ever again. You lock yourself into the current rates, which we all know, is super expensive. where was this 2 years ago, 3 years ago? before 9/11?

says it started awhile ago, and alota people are down at under a dollar... which it hasn't been under a doller in atleast 15 years or more...

But if you think about it, buying now will still save you in the future when gas prices will be 5-6 dollars a gallon...hopefully by then the inflation rate will be just as high and everyone will be making more money...

Yeah, and when all of europe is paying 5-6 USD already -_-'
But, they cope by having mainly short run travel, more fuel efficient cars, and not owning Ford Mustang GTs
