Easiest essential prep and it's free (well sort of)

Make sure your gas tank never goes below half full.

In a large scale disaster, you may need to get out of town quickly, and if the electricity is out, you aren't going to be getting gas anywhere nearby.

It won't do much good to have everything prepped to leave in an emergency, only to find your gas tank on empty.

You can also keep gas stored at home...

I like the idea and practice it religiously. But I still think rule #1 of zombieland is cheaper, easier and more essential .

Cardio.

We try and practice this. We also keep a fair amount stored at home and on the BO route.
The service truck is always full and I have some nice fuel transfer pumps.

There were a lot of vehicles running out of fuel in this traffic jam!

Have you been to a shooting event? I think you are in the minority.

I keep 100 gallons on hand, and never so far away without supplies that I can't get back home. half tank advice is a good rule

 

[vedearduff]

I try to not go lower than 3/4 full.

 

[eldirector]

I never go below half, either. Lots of reasons, and always having a 150+ mile range is one of them.

Just topped off again this morning....

I top off the Suburban every week for this exact reason. It also reduces the blow of buying 40 gallons of fuel at one time!

I really like the half tank idea, also I have a truck at home that only gets drove to church and I always keep it full.
