First fuel bank futures peek.

this is a site located in ST. Cloud, MN that I check once in a while to see future fuel price trends.  It is too far away to be be practical for me but interesting.  The left column is the prepaid cash or check  "price good forever" prepay lock in.  The middle column is "spot market" credit card and right column is prepaid "spot".  The best "futures" indicator is th left and right columns.  For example unleaded lock-in is

now $4.279 versus rolling prepay of $3.689:  A fifty-nine cents per gallon "spread".  Dyed fuels are off road use diesel that have dies to prevent on road use.

Enjoy!
