Just imagine what you'd be feeling like if you woke up one morning and could not drive to work cause someone siphoned your gas

We're slowly getting there. And here I thought I was building a reinforced shed merely to store my generators and gas cans in the event of a hurricane

now I got to account for the possibly of my gas tank being bone fucking dry in the morning

Get a hybrid that can run on electricity or gas that's what I'd do.

That way ya get the best of both worlds. Ya never run outta 'fuel'.

Manufactured yer own 'gas' right at home with an electricAL generating system if need be. Florida gets a Lotta sunshine so just set up a farm 9f solar panels on yer property.

Shit.

Senile @Joe just solved the energy crisis.

It seems so obvious and simple when he lays it out that way.

...and yet, it'd be crazy to buy a GAS ONLY vehicle these days @The Prowler

The cost of a fillup is horrendous.

Hybrid of full electric is possibly the way to go...altho EV only seem like dicey proposition.

Texas snowstorm showed us how vulnerable EV's are in a time of emergency.

Just remember where the ELECTRICITY comes from for your electric car. The vast majority of our electricity comes from COAL GENERATOR PLANTS.

I have a meme that I can't find atm showing an EV car towing a generator belching out exhaust....

Power must come from somewhere and PV can't get an EV to go any faster than a brisk walk over many weeks if one does the math.

Senile @Joe

And if not coal, other fossil fuels.

And when the demand for electricity exceeds capacity, what do you think will happen to the price of electricity, Senile @Joe?

One of these gas stealing crack heads recently accidentally set himself on fire while trying to drill a tank.

They will just drill that off or they will drill the gas tank.

This is already happening to people. This happened to my husband while he was at work. He thought the car was fucked up.

He just filled the tank on his way to work. Its was GONE when he went to leave.

Luckily we have friends close by his work and they came and took him to the gas station so he could get gas to dump in the car.

It was ridiculous. He was so mad he called me first lol.

His work has doubled parking lot security because it was becoming a problem.

I dont think gas stations would take it. It's all regulated.

I imagine inner city junkies are gonna sell it to people for drug money though. It's probably easier to steal gas now than it is to go after copper.

It is true that making yourself a harder target often helps.
