You can still go to the grocery store just fine … but the truck that brought deliveries to the grocery store so you could buy them ran on diesel, as did the truck that delivered the food from the packing plant to the distribution center. As did the truck that delivered the food from the farm to the packing plant. As did all the tractors and other heavy equipment used on that farm. And if they all have to pay more for fuel, your groceries are going to get more expensive. If shortages get so bad that they can’t even get fuel, then you might be seeing a lot of empty shelves at the grocery store.
