I'm betting at some point around late August personally. Maybe September latest.

Who cares? It's been 27 years since "Peak Oil" scare.

It's been 50 years since the oil shortages of the 1970's.

Time is a flat circle. You will simply continue paying for gas to survive. The powers that be have mandated it so.

Who cares? I think everyone in about 3 months, whether they like it or not. Time is ticking.

It'll be uneven.

I know people in Philippines who no longer cook at home because they haven't been able to afford LPG for the last 2 months. So their "shortage" (under capitalism there are no shortages, just prices you can't afford) started a long time ago.

I doubt USA, as an oil producing nation, will see proper shortages ever. They'll just stop exporting their surplus. America First.

Other rich countries that don't produce / refine oil will be getting properly desperate around end of July / August, yeah.

Time to shamelessly plug !fuel_crisis@piefed.social

My country subsidizes fuel heavily, and recently signed a supply arrangement with russia. So, pretty soon.

The amount of stuff that needs oil to be made and is made overseas is staggering. That’s where the US will be hurt. Indirect costs will skyrocket.

It’s going to be CPUs. Expect cell phones to become unobtainable.

Your daily reminder that it isnt a shortage if you can still buy it for a higher price

Incorrect: US oil exports hit record high. What does this mean for gas prices?.

The US doesn't have neither the refinery capacity nor pipeline infrastructure to process all of its extracted crude oil. So that country will be as vulnerable to oil shortages as most others.
