Oil company stocks or ETFs will probably track...

Probably your best long-term hedge is to lower your consumption... buy a fuel efficient vehicle the next time you purchase one. Then you save both ways... when prices are low you save, when the rise you save.

For RVs... you will have to pay the toll. The cost of that activity has probably increased for good... you have a temporary reprieve. Enjoy it.
