Each fill costs me a buck or two more; which per $40 fill isn't much. But then before I know it that fill which used to cost me $36 now costs $45.
The thing of it is; I can tell you exactly how much I will pay in June for natural gas. Why can't gasoline have a stable price like that- or at least have us know when the price will be going up? To me the big difference is the fact that every driver owns a gasoline storage unit; whereas very few homeowners have a natural gas storage unit.

You store your own natural gas? Interesting...I assumed you meant you had a fixed price contract on your natural gas. Which no matter how it compares to the current market, several traders made a margin on before it came to you at a locked in price anyway.
I shudder to think of the complexities and BS that would be introduced if consumers could choose fixed price gasoline contracts.
