Carrying an extra 5g tank just in case... I usually carry 2 or 3 of them on
the rack on top of my XJ when I'm going on cross country trips like that...
It's nice for when you run into places that are obviously trying to gouge
prices due to their remoteness or whatever... Hell, I even carry empty 5g
tanks with me if I'm going to be in an area of Houston that has cheaper gas
than my area... Locally, the cheapest price for 87 octane is $2.83... If I'm
in the SE part of Houston, it's as low as $2.75... At $0.08 per gallon and
four 5g tanks, that's only $1.60, but every little bit helps... Basically,
it boils down to taking advantage of opportunities, but not going out of
your way so that it costs you more to get there than you save... Sometimes,
I'll throw a 55g drum in the back of my pickup and fill it up -- usually
with the 93 octane since that is what I use in my aircraft...

Re: Traveling cross country by my lonesome
He's travelling in his Mustang.
Moving from one side of the country to the other.
Ya REALLY think on ANY level that he would think about carrying a gas can?
