really loaded which is unlikely) if the price spikes continue.


He may also run into another problem, though my crystal ball says he

won't. If
you buy a tank of gas at a peak price and index your price to the price

you
paid, you may be stuck with that tank if the price then drops. This

happened at
Lakewood airport two years ago.


If you paid peak for the new tank, but charged your customers pre-peak
prices, you're dead.

"Maule Driver" would love that, I guess.
