does NY participate in the ‘Gas Bank’ I’ve heard of? You can purchase massive amounts of gas at market cost, stock up, then access your ‘account’ for years after (well till you exhaust the account) [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/the-oil-prices-thread/44739.md?page=79) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/the-oil-prices-thread/44739.md?page=81)
