| Keeping a full tank of gas in an unknown, fluid situation such as the U.S. is in now is something I recommend. |
It’s been some time since we’ve talked cars. And while I will be making more content, especially while we’re quarantined due to the Covid-19 coronavirus, there’s something pressing I want to quickly address. Staying home and staying safe while staying prepared. Today, the governor of the state of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer, declared that residents are to stay home and only come out for essential needs (food, medicine, to care for someone else, etc.). Auto shows such as the one in Geneva have cancelled. The Big 3 (GM, Ford, FCA) have all temporarily suspended operations at their U.S. plants. This is all to help “flatten the curve” and reduce the spread of the coronavirus. I want to encourage you to do just that - take care of yourself and family and stay home. Practice social distancing and flatten the curve.
However, I’d be remiss to tell you to not prepare also. If you need something essential such as water, go get it, but protect yourself and your family by washing your hands regularly first and foremost, but also wearing rubber gloves if you have any on tap. Clean your house and car after any trips out. And one thing I do strongly advise - FILL UP YOUR GAS TANK AND KEEP GAS IN IT.
Now I know what you’re thinking - “Adam, that makes no sense. We’re not going anywhere.” That may be true, but in an emergency, you can NEVER be too prepared, friends. Gas is cheap in most places now - I stopped and put gas in my mother’s 2020 Kia Telluride for $1.57 today. When was the last time you could fill up for that? The 90s!? Keeping gas in your tank in a situation where you don’t know what’s coming tomorrow is basic safety in my eyes. You’re ready to go anywhere for anything if need be. So yes, stock up and fill up, too. But maybe leave a pack of toilet paper for the next family, ok?
Roll on guys. And stay prepared, stay safe and STAY HOME.
