How this market settles
What could still go wrong
- The market title says 'by Nov 30, 2026' which could imply any time before November 30, but the description restricts the window to November 1–30, 2026 only, excluding earlier months.
- The description references 'maximum price' from AAA but it is unclear whether this means the daily reported national average or a specific AAA metric labeled 'maximum'.
- No specific AAA data product or URL is cited, leaving room for disputes about which AAA report or data feed to use.
- Timezone of AAA price reporting is unspecified, which could matter for borderline daily readings near the cutoff dates.
- The end date in metadata (2026-11-30T04:59:00Z) may not align with end-of-day US time, potentially cutting off the last day of November depending on timezone.
