Question

Would 48 gallon drums of fuel make a good investment?

Answer 1

Investing is based on the sales price.  Fuel has a shelf life.  Over time, the octane value naturally decreases.  You would have to see a return on your investment within a period of 3 months or so to prevent spoilage of the product.  But the way the oil price is moving, a reasonable turn of profit could be managed in that time line, so Yes, it would invest well if you predict the price / demand appropriately.
