They were being facetious and pretending your average person could just buy gas the same way that oil barrel speculation works, almost like buying vouchers. It was a pretty good one so I don’t want them to have to explain the joke haha.
Actually, where I live there is (or at least was) a business that allowed you to buy something akin to "gasoline futures", basically you could just buy X liters of gas or diesel and then use them up overtime using a client card or something like that. Not too sure how it worked, forgot the name too.
