While investing in the United States Gasoline Fund ETF is not a perfect hedge against fluctuating gasoline prices (gasoline prices can vary quite a bit by region), it should provide reasonable protection in helping you reach
your target price per gallon of gas of $ 3.00 or whatever the current price of gasoline is that you want to «lock in»).
The total cost of gasoline over this time would be $ 4,350 (Ouch), but, your investment in the ETF Gasoline fund would also rise by roughly * the same percentage as the
price of gasoline you paid (compared to your $ 3.00
per gallon target price).
