While things are relatively stable now with fuel supplies, that could change any time. When/if rationing starts, you could be SOL. How to gain access to fuel now?? Get a commercial account.
I recently got a commercial account at the local Chevron commercial card lock. I filled out the form which basically asks how much fuel you will use, and the name of your business or reason for the account. I do some farming, so I filled out farm use.
I think any reason could be used, as they seemed eager to open the account, and were only concerned with my credit rating.
When/if the lineups start at the retail pumps, you will have easy access to fuel. You also get a small discount over the retail price, fast pumps (some retail pumps take forever to fill a big tank), the ability to use marked gas (if you are a farmer), 24/7 access, and no questions asked if you stockpile fuel in a large tank.
