Once “rationing diesel fuel” gets to echoing around on everyone’s computers and phones, whatever diesel people can find will get bought/used/stored very quickly.
It will definitely happen quickly as they keep tightening.

Now that I’m looking for a new part-time job, I can’t prep as much as before.
Most of the public will be blindsided into the mad rush you’re mentioning.
