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.

Now your attempting to obfuscate this loss of the initial 5.50... buy saying my current cost is 25c... You've stil eaten the cost of the 5.50, from the initial purchase. Now for that 25c profit, which should just be 50c savings, if you just bought for yourself.

God damn, you're right. I must be more tired or more tarded than I thought.

Hell, at the rate the world is moving. Store drinking water. Its gonna be more valuable.

With 6 months of food stored, thats my next storage task. It just takes so much damn room.

55 gallon drums, buried, and/or stored in locked 12'x12 sheds built on concrete pads, on 15'x15' plots of subleased land in the middle of fucking nowhere, spaced 20-60 miles apart in a rough, but hardly predictable, 10x10 grid covering your region.

You now have a resupply network.

And thats what I would be building if I had the money.
