<fill the strategic reserve> John, not workable; any amount added in time will be totally inadequate to meet normal/or less, needs. I have seen documents as well as reports by oil-related insiders (at least some have to be authentic) that paint the gloomiest picture of all relating to serious oil disruptions/stoppages, perhaps lasting up to a year...or?

There are about 9 layers from oil pumping to oil at the pumps/utility plants; Any one of these seriously disrupted can/will cause oil to be substantially reduced/unavailable here.

I have seen NO confirmable reports to indicate ANY ONE OF THESE links will operate flawlessly, much less all nine or so of them.

These reports indicate very serious problems, some unsolveable, others that probably could not be solved even with 5 more years available.

Would I buy a new car after what I have read? Ha! Remember the 70s pics of masses of chinese on bikes? Expect that here also for a long, long time.

Remember also that individuals will have last priority for any available gas.
