I saw this tweet[1] the day after.

I go every week and saw shelves were full, but bought a years supply for our cars just in case...

I remember some panic and thinking I’ll just hope for the best.

With modern synthetics and my driving patterns, that is 1 jug for one of my cars, and 2 jugs for the other.

Maybe now wouldn’t be the worst time. It isn’t a lot of space wasted if I didn’t need it.

Wouldn't panic buying increase the problem for everyone else? Just like toilet paper in 2020?
