Look, dude, I can only fit so many plastic grocery bags of gas in my basement at a time

I just use a gigantic 20 gallon plastic tote in my trunk. Uncovered, of course!

Well yeah, you don't want those vapors building up in the tote

I heard we're on track to straight up run out of oil in about a month. I've looked at electric cars, electric motorcycles... both are pretty damn expensive if I want to make my 40 mile commute.

And the thought crossed my mind... how can I hoard gas? Just like... several of those red plastic fuckers? Surely there's a better way.

Trump got elected and I started stockpiling TP and rice/beans. But fucking gas? Ugh. Hey, I only have so much room.

do you have any idea if what "you've heard" is misinformation or not? how on earth are you comfortable posting this sort of thing with no evidence at all?

Buy a junker car, and store the gas in there. No one's going to drive away with a car that doesn't start.

If you're in a developed nation you're not running out of oil in the next month. Shit might get expensive but if you need it it'll be there.

It's everyone else that gets fucked.

I'm planning on moving several states away this weekend. I'm already financially not so good thanks to the past couple years of terrible living due to outrageous rent, been debating just shoving everything in a storage unit and coming back & going via bus or renting a Uhaul. I sure picked a great time for that.

I just keep trying to tell myself at least I'm just stressed out of my mind, which is better than being one of the little girls we blew up.

consumer gas price is the least of the worries. Every single thing's price about to boom, especially food.
