How I Beat Big Oil
Thursday, July 10th, 2008With gas prices holding at $4 a gallon, I’m averaging $60 a tank to fill my Maxima with cheap gas. Yet last month, I actually made a net profit on the machinations of Big Oil. Here comes the math:
Gas: -$120
Discover Gas Card Cashback: +$5
Energy Stocks ETF (XLE) Gain: +$134
Total: +$19
So this month I beat Big Oil! 
My fortunes will probably change next month, though; I usually average 3 tanks.
