@quercus@poa.st @ReadyKilowatt@noauthority.social @cjd@pkteerium.xyz hypothetical scenario: russia attacks ukraine and you are a civilian man trying to get out while there still is enough chaos and you stand a chance to cross the border without getting send to the meat grinder to die for corrupt politicians. you have to go some hundred kilometers in one go though.
get 2-3 jerrycans, fill them up, fill up the tank, vs. charging for an hour half the way, provided that part of the net didn't go out in the chaos.

How much gas do you have at your house right now? Is it enough to make it across the border if you need to?

The problem is that if you store your fuel now, it's probably fouled when you really need it in e.g. 10 years. So you also need to make sure to regularly refresh your storage. And you can bet that if shit hits the fan, there won't be any fuel available at gast stations as well - due to hoarding and government restrictions (the same applies if the electrical grid is down). I'd argue that no 2-track vehicle is really good in an emergency. A bike or motorbike is probably better as you can avoid roads with congestion and checkpoints.
