8. 2-4 Weeks Until We Reach Tank Bottom

Monday

we are about 2-4 weeks away from "tank bottom" or the end of our oil reserves that are keeping the price of gas as

When that happens gas will skyrocket in price in order to dampen demand then move into rationing.

Shit is going to hit the fan soon people.
