Gas prices seem destined to keep rising, and many consumers feel powerless to do anything to protect themselves from what they perceive as the inevitable.

Now a new Miami-based company, MyGallons, is offering what it hopes will be a solution: the chance to pre-buy gasoline at the current price and fill up later when prices — presumably — are higher.

“Save money by pre-purchasing gas at today’s prices, then fill up with your MyGallons Card when prices rise. No matter how high prices at the pump will go, the price of the gallons you’ve purchased will be locked-in.”

MP: Hey, we can all be speculators/hedgers now!
