Poll: Cost of fuel and it's effect on your SHTF plans

Wood gas is hard on engines; it is very acidic

In a survival situation you do whatever works. It's proven to work.

If you need to yes, I much prefer to store fuel than go with something like wood gas - it would be a last resort.

It may mean the the Sportster with sidehack becomes useful. Now it's just for recreation.

diesel at the local stations is running at $5.25 or so per gallon. the closest station is $5.75. I went to the local farm store and got 100 gallons of off-road fuel at $4.90. thanks, Joe!

My truck was my daily driver, but diesel is bad enough I filled the tank, parked it and now I'm driving my Exploder.

My daily driver is also a diesel, time to dust off the motorcycle.

I'm looking at $5ish/g for my truck at 19mpg or 20 mpg at $4.60/ for my twin turbo Explorer. I'm kind of effed either way.

I parked the V8 and went back to driving the 4 banger for awhile. Not as an enjoyable of a ride, but my bank account appreciates it.

Checked Kelly's Blue Book for the value of my car

It asked is the gas tank full or empty.

I'm not too concerned about the price of gas i put in my rig. Whats keeping me up at night is how that cost and cost if other products like fertilizer and whatnot are going to raise the cost of food in the coming months. 10x in the next 18 - 24 months?

And congress just voted themselves a big raise so it looks like the know inflation is going to hurt bad.

Cost has never been an issue. If the time comes, the issues will be availability, and accepted payment methods...

It's my opinion the crash is here, like a rolling snowball going down hill it's getting bigger as we go. Folks are going to get to test their preps as we go.

Yep. Be ready for all contingencies. Stay flexible. Be smart. Stay Diversified. God Bless.

So if you have a new f350 with the largest gas tank and run it down to eight gallons it cost's $210 to fill it up.

A tank a week plus $800 monthly payment, insurance and maintenance is $1,800 a month to operate the vehicle. Better be a business expense at that point.

I have almost exactly that (2019 F350)minus the payment. This increase really does hurt a bit so I'm leaning towards the motorcycle once the rain slows down.
