You are correct.
Gasoline prices are not going down anytime soon (read years).
I've already started by buying a motorcycle. I might fabricate a sidecar for it.
There are plenty of places I can walk to if need be. (grocery store, barbershop, motorcycle parts, etc)
I know how to can and store food for winter use.
One thing I'm still lacking is a wood stove or a fireplace for winter heating
