OK, so another new effect that I've now been directly impacted by that's specifically related to COVID, or rather, what COVID did to gas demand and what that did to the availability of truck drivers - https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/28/business/...index.html
I wound up filling up my car's tank with PREMIUM at the second station - the first station had a hell of a line, and my day today was busy enough I was willing to pay the extra $15-20 just to make sure I don't have to gas up tomorrow.
I'm adjusting my fillup schedule starting now. I won't wait for the light on the dashboard, I'll be looking to fill up at 1/4 of a tank left so that I can hunt for it.
