We cannot drill our way out of this oil crisis. Since 2000, oil companies working in the U.S. have doubled the number of wells drilled per year.
Although increased drilling has added new oil to the nation's supply, it has not done so fast enough to offset the terminal decline of existing fields.
We are going to have to import more of our oil. Period.

Oh crap! There's my bug-out vehicle!
What are the chances of that actually happening???
Especially since I live in a 1 story house and park outside.

My concern would be for the possibility that a running vehicle becomes a target. I always identify two things when I enter a metro area for any period of time. first is the safe place to hit the ground and hide if need be. The second is the railroad tracks out of town. I also try to gauge the time it would take to hike from the place I would go to ground to the outer metro. If it would take about six hours and the sun is coming up at 630 am, then I can stay hidden until a little after midnight. If the power is out than that should be long enough. Once on the tracks i hit a jog until I am out.
I would rather be discrete than fast. _________________ The sage experiences without abstraction,

I assume if the foe was zombie hordes, you would just reverse the order above and hoof it during the daylight, right? _________________ We're all Big Wave Riders. Some just don't realize it.

Whatever. My bug out shelter is 10 feet away... Running water/toilet/shower (well). Just need a generator and a couple thousand gallons of gas. A large brick wall around the property would help and lots of dogs. I don't need a stinking vehicle! _________________ "Oil is going up because we use too much oil, and the capacity to replace reserves is dwindling"
