Two things to consider:

Find cheap gas using Ahding's cool Google Maps-powered interface, which is called -- unsurprisingly -- Cheap Gas.

Consider investing in an energy-focused mutual fund as a hedge*. As a point of reference, Fidelity Energy Services has returned about 7%, 35% and 35% in 2003, '04, and '05, respectively.

*This is not an investment recommendation. Do your own research and come to your own conclusions. Any investment decisions and related after-effects are strictly your own responsibility.
