Impending Oil Supply Shortages

[RiffRaff]

I am calling this 80% accurate and confirmed. MSN is carrying both the Toyota and Nissan memo story, and I'm finding multiple sources regarding the AutoZone memo. Plus, it does make sense given the current situation in the Middle East. Here are the memos in question:


There is the chance that this could be fake and/or manufactured. However, my wife and I both agree it is prudent to stockpile enough oil ad filters to do our own oil changes for one year. Take this with as much or as little salt as you wish, but I personally think the odds of this being accurate are pretty high.

I suggest people also review this as well. Hopefully people took my advice and did so before the war as I implored prior to hostiles:

Recommendation For Iran Nuclear Crisis. The Time Has Now Come for You & Your Family to Prepare:

Recommend people to start stockpiling fuel & other critical goods as well. As global shocks/escalation may go beyond oil.

Make sure you buy fuel stabilizer! Also, remember that even with stabilizer, it only lasts a good 2 years at best. So, even if you don't end up needing it, you can still use it later. It won’t be a wasted expense either way.

It is extremely unlikely that Trump would target Iran's oil infrastructure. However risk is not entirely absent either in the face...

If you did. Then you should be sitting pretty comfortably right now and likely road out the worse of the gas/oil shocks so far in confidence.

We're good on our gasoline and propane reserves. I hadn't thought about oil for the cars until now. I always keep a quart or two around just for topping off, but I think I need to add oil to our reserves as well as fuel. Fortunately, both of our cars take the same type.

I heat with wood, LP and electric. Now that the heating season is over the LP will last till the late fall. Now that I am retired, we moved to one vehicle. A dodge ram truck that I only have to change the oil in twice a year so we should be good here.
