Thanks for your comment. I don't think the concept of community oil (or fuel) banks is too outlandish; certainly the average consumer prefers and understands holding an underlying physical commodity to any kind of complicated derivative.

I'm currently researching a piece about the effect of falling oil prices on the storage companies (BKEP, NV, KMI etc), and was somewhat surprised to discover that the supply glut hasn't helped their share prices, which seems counterintuitive.
