Well a fixed rate 2018 will be today's rates plus a pretty large premium . A 2015 lock in will be almost the same as today's prices for each year added to the fixed rate add a premium .
In other words 2016/17/18 are not at today's rates .0 -

I suspect that the OP is under the impression that 'fixed rate' means a fixed payment regardless of usage?
It's the unit rate that is fixed.No free lunch, and no free laptop
