I'd be more concerned about food than fuel myself. Your vehicle can go hungry, you cannot.
I would think if diesel is rationed then the food supply and everything else would be effected since almost everything is delivered by diesel truck or produced by diesel equipment.

Not likely. More likely we’re fully into a recession and demand goes down.

Good excuse to stay home.

As long as the power stays on, we have a 25 cubic foot freezer full of home grown beef and pork and another full of last year’s garden veggies. Also a store room with canned veggies and fruits. We wouldn’t have as much variety without the store bought groceries but could eat for about a year without going to the store.

Same here actually but a lot of folks don't ever plan ahead. Those are the ones that will go hungry. Hungry is ugly too.

Yes it is. We don’t store up food because we are worried about a catastrophe. We just do it because I like to garden, raise a few animals, and everything tastes better.
