"But that guaranteed price hasn’t worked out so well lately."

Well, the guaranteed price has worked for example for the airlines in which they are just now feeling the costs of fuel because they have been using fuel that was bought on contract a long time ago at a lower price. But that seems to be gone now and they are feeling it.

A futrures market only offers a temporary and delayed buffer.
