backstory is that i try to fill up my tank more when gas prices are at a low and less as prices go up to make my long term average cost per gallon lower.
now given current events, and empirical reality, gas has only been going up and will continue to go up. we could assume different curves(only constraint being that price per gallon goes up as time goes forward), but if you buy your gas now you will spend less money then you have if you bought it tomorrow, day after, or week down the road. my estimate is that it will be month minimum before it gets cheaper.
now that I have put this out there into the world you should fill up asap, I already filled up before making this post and other people will come up with this idea independently of me.
Can only do so much with one tank, though. IDK how smart it would be to keep a tank or barrel of fuel in your garage ...
I've considered similar with food, but most of the food I eat is either perishable or has low value per volume, and I have limited storage space. I did stock up on cheese, though.
yeah i was thinking about getting jerry cans out to the station but i think it would only be another car tank worth at most to hold out for oil crisis to come down, for that that little i probably should but idk at what volume you should stop at.
foods probably gonna be the same situation because sulfur from oil wells somehow intertwined itself chicken husbandry.
Just remember that fuel doesn't have a very long shelf life. I've heard people mention numbers between 3 and 6 months. Apparently there are additives that can be added to the fuel to keep it stable for longer.
That only matters if you don't cycle your fuel around - you fill your fuel tank from the jerrycans, not the petrol station.
