Are you fearful gas prices will continue to soar, making travel nearly impossible?  Most U.S. citizens are not fearful of losing complete transit capabilities, but worry the extra money will infringe upon other aspects of life.  MyGallons released a solution recently allowing consumers to pre-purchase gas at a fixed price.

A MyGallon membership runs $29.95 annually and functions comparable to a debit card.  Purchasing 100 gallons of gas at $3.50 enables MyGallon members budget for a pre-determined price at a number of participating stations including BP, Chevron, Amoco, Shell, Texaco, etc.   Price adjustments are added to account for lower prices or tax in different regions.

Will be interesting to follow the adoption curve of MyGallons, but some early analysis is not encouraging.  Adam Ostrow of Mashable added the following:

Yes, rising gas prices suck. But if you think they are going to continue to rise, the best way to hedge your bets is to buy some stock in Exxon Mobile or BP – not hand over $29.95/year for another piece of plastic.
