NEW YORK (Reuters) - The high price of gasoline has some U.S. drivers looking to the future.

A recently introduced service called MyGallons.com allows drivers to fill up their tanks sometime in the future but at current prices, using a debit-like card which banks gallons rather than dollars.

Gee, sounds an awful lot like speculating. And since everyone wants to demonize those big bad speculators these days, wouldn't it be hypocritical to participate in a program like this?

Great idea, however what do you do when you go to collect those pre-purchased gallons and find out that the company is gone (and so is your money)?
