Whazzup...selling even a full 55 gallon drum of gas at $1.70 marked up from $1.66 would only get you $2.20 profit. Assuming it will take only 1 gallon of gas to get there and back, you would make $0.54 per 55 gallon drum.

Now Goops idea is better. Get the gas free, then sell it at $1.70. You'd make more like $93 per 55 gallon drum.

Kinda puts the whole thing in perspective. I use about 11 gallons per week. So I spend about $100/5 weeks on gas. I just don't think it's *that* bad yet.
