Because gas doesn't come in prettily shaped quart containers that we can show off. 50 quarts of GC looks impressive. Who wants to see some rusted 55-gallon drum full of gas? Doesn't even have a sticker on it.quote:

Wouldn't it make more financial sense to take that money and invest it? Even a moderate rate of return should outpace inflation and you'll be money ahead at the end of 10 years when you would have used up the oil stash.quote:

Well, not really. The amount I have paid for most of the oil and the amount of vehicles and "Toys" that I maintain justifies my "investment". In just over a year and a half's time, I will already have saved more money than I spent on my initial cash outlay. Plus, I am good for several years. Then, I can take the money I would have had to spend on full price or inflated price oil and invest that. It's win-win(for me).quote:

You want to talk about expensive hobbies? My other hobby is collecting Snap-on. That gets expensive fast, but you get to keep something for your money that last a very long time, if not forever.quote:
