It is indeed bad advice as we saw with ignorant, selfish idiots hoarding toilet paper early in the pandemic thereby causing a shortage.  Gasoline is one of many products produced to meet anticipated demand (i.e., just in time manufacturing process) and any run on their product in anticipation of future supply issues will cause exactly the shortage people worry about. 

Panic buying always causes artificial shortages and if people had half a brain they would understand that and not cause a problem that didn't need to exist.
