I had this idea recently. Someone should setup a system by which I can buy a couple hundred bucks of gas redeemable whenever. Basically small scale private speculation by the x number of gallons.

How dumb is this idea?

That system exists. It's called a barrel.

Joking aside, I still don't see it as a great idea if only very simply because existing distribution networks have zero incentive to let you buy cheap gas and then hold it in some sort of virtual reserve rather than just selling you expensive gas later.

First one to do it probably makes a fuckton of money right upfront though. I imagine.
