Lets say you stockpile as much or more than you need. Say a thousand gallons of gas and/or diesel.

Lets say you buy the diesel at $5.50/gal.

It rises to $6 after a season.

You sell to neighbors and people in your community at below the new current price. Say $5.75

You then go out and use this $5.75, to subsidize the cost of buying the more expensive gas or diesel.

Effectively, by undercutting the gas stations locally, you have provided cheaper gasoline to your neighbors, who will have effectively subsidized the cost of your your current gas purchases.

You won't make a profit in the "strict" sense, even though you're selling above your original cost, but thats not the purpose of this.

Instead, you will be that much more inflation-proof having done this.

This is not financial advice. I am not a financial advisor.

it's more like preparedness advice.

That and you can't store gasoline for too long.

You can store it for up to a year.

If you are regularly rotating it you'll be fine.

Besides your close neighbors, how do you attract more customers without arousing suspicion?

Last I checked it's not illegal to sell small quantities of your own property for non-commercial purposes.

You must not know very many people.

I'd straight up go set-up a booth at the farmers market and sell fill ups.
