fill up on gas every chance you get because gas prices will only go up. (sh.itjust.works)

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.

It's absolutely a Catch-22. The whole system is designed to need a private transportation source, and how do you undo that? A working public transportation system for more than just select urban areas, places designed for foot and small vehicle traffic, and local centers for basic needs, so you don't have to go tens of miles or more for them. We all want this, I don't doubt, but how do you change enough of what exists to make a difference?
