So, is petrol going to be rationed? Almost certainly not in a way you’ll feel. It’s like worrying about a meteor hitting your house while you’re also worried about the mortgage. It’s a “maybe, but let’s focus on the stuff we can control” situation. The good news? The era of the Great Panic is likely behind us. The car industry is already pivoting to electric, and that’s the real long-term fix.
For now, just drive sane, smile at the pump, and remember: a full tank of gas and a good playlist is still one of life’s simpler pleasures. Even if the price tag makes you wince.
