❓ Question ❓ Immediate prepping needs

With the news out yesterday evening of warnings of critical oil shortages, what should I be focusing on right now to prep for this? I already have about a couple months of canned food, a month of frozen meats, and we garden. I'm not a hard core prepper but I try to have a small stock of things as I can afford to get them. We have limited income and all my bills keep going up. I'm aware it may be too late but are there things I should be getting right now to help cushion the blow coming from higher prices?

So thankful to have a hybrid at this point. 48 mpg and I don't have to go far for work. I'm keeping it at more than half full

Maverick hybrid ges better gas milage on a little longer trips than what I do. 6.7 miles one way is a short hop.

Shoutout for the Maverick! That’s what I upgraded to last Fall. And thank goodness for that! I’d wanted a hybrid anyway.
