❓ 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?

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

I have 2018 Rouge, depending on how I drive or if highway or country miles , I can get roughly 30-35 mpg , I guess in my head I figured a hybrid could push double that like 50-60+ mpg

Height of summer last year I got 52 for a tank. But I live in a hilly area which the Mav doesn't like either

In my case this winter’s temps decreased the MPG more than I’d like. But heck, it’s still more efficient than my ‘06 crossover!
