  "textContent": "I am old enough to remember the gas rationing in the 70s. Rationing was based on the odd/even of your license plate and often capped at a 10-gallon purchase limit if the station had gas at all.\n\nI was a road warrior at the time, and my local station took care of me, but still it was a struggle. I refused to take a service call (I serviced computer systems) unless I had enough gas for a round trip.\n\nI saw a farmer that called his supplier for a delivery of off-road diesel for his tractors. He was told he could only get 100 gallons. One of his tractors holds 90 gallons and will only last about 14 hours of work.\n\nI heat with oil, not the best option, but there's no NG in the area. I have a 550-gallon tank, and that will last me a winter unless the weather gets really nuts. I ordered a fill-up just to top off the tank, so I should be OK until the fall of 2027.",
