I go through about 100 gallons of gas a week for work. No way I could store enough gas to make a difference, unless I quit working..

try no to let things go below half and keep a can of small engine gas around for yard work and such.if I didn't live less than 5 minutes from 2 stations I might keep more I have a lot of cans I used to move 30-40 gallons of off-road at a time to the heat oil tank in the basement I like to do a few runs and be full before winter , not sure the price will come down at all this year on offroad
I used to keep more cans , rotating is time consuming , I might keep a second now
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I keep a few jugs full, use and refill them seasonally to keep it fresh. It's good to be prepared for the unexpected. Sure, of the grid goes down the gas station might have backup power, but if everyone in town starts running generators the stores are going to sell out fast. Will the supply trucks keep up? Also remember, no CC purchases without internet. Better have cash.
Boco couldn't catch a cold. But if he did, it would be Top Lot.

The "gas shortage" seems like more sensationalized fake news to me. In the last week I've filled both my work trucks, one of them twice. No issues, no lines. Last Saturday I filled one in north-central Pa and I was the only person getting gas. Yesterday I filled up in southeastern Pa and about half the eight pumping stations were occupied, no waiting lines.
But I guess we should all be very afraid...just in case...
Eh...wot?

I still have toilet paper I will trade for gas :-) I unusually have enough AV-Gas for one fill on the airboat. Couple 5 gallon cans for mower or use in ATV. Other wise really don't keep any big amount around..

Seems to be enough gas around here. However, the price has gone up.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.
