Drive free for life! Learn how the oil companies will pay for your gas.

What is DriveFreeForLife? It is a way to think differently about rising fuel costs. Gas prices keep rising and rising, and the average joe is naturally worried.

The strategy behind DriveFreeForLife is not really new or groundbreaking. Corporations and wealthy individuals have been using the same strategy for years — creating a hedge against higher fuel costs.

You’ve heard the news reports — oil companies reporting record profits. They all benefit from higher oil prices, and you can, too. Even companies outside of the oil industry are using the same technique. You may have read the recent reports that Southwest Airlines was turning a profit, even as other airlines are struggling to stay afloat. They simply created a hedge against higher oil prices. And you can, too.

How do you create an effective hedge? By investing in companies that profit from higher fuel costs. When oil prices go up, so does the return on your investment — effectively offsetting the higher costs you pay at the pump.

The  Free Gas Calculator demonstrates how you can effectively drive free for life with a modest investment in stocks that track the price of oil.
