As I continue to prepare for the climax of Obama's rule I realize I will need an emergency supply of gasoline. My solution is used steel 55 gallon drums cleaned with glycerine stored in a metal shed 100 yards away from my house. Any other economical options (drums priced at $25 each)that might work better for me would be greatly appreciated.
But you better keep it off any public road!
Get an old Chevy and put an gasifier on it
You do realize that if everyone hoards gas it will go the way of .22 long rifle cartridges.
Stabilize/treat it, use it in your car as you go. It will be no good in a year or two no matter what, so have a plan for after.
Go diesel.
Way easier and safer to store for long periods, and way easier to make for yourself should the need arise.
Your post reminded me of the movie War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise where he had the only vehicle and people were killing each other for it.
Store it with the paint and thinner, right next to the furnace.

“If you live anywhere near water buy marine gasoline.”
In my area, the Co-ops offer “Agricultural Gasoline”, which is just 100% gas. It is on the pump that says “Not for use in Motor Vehicles”.
My truck gets 10-15% better mileage on it vs. the nutty “Winter Blend” offered in Chicagoland.
“War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise”
LOL...I actually started to mention that but kept the comment short.
Great minds...

What about fuel stabilizers?
Diesel fuel is far safer and better to store. There’s wood gasification, but that would require some previous steel work skills, skills in mechanics, technical safety knowledge (relief valves and materials) and much other knowledge in advance.
For gasoline, though, find as many ways to cut back on driving and conserve fuel first. Then don’t store much. Smaller containers would be best. It won’t be good very long, even with a stabilizer. Store it away from sunlight but not in a building. There are drums that are suitable for storage, but vents, proper, non-sparking dispensing hardware and other things need to be studied in advance.
There are also bicycles and animals to ride, for those with land and hay in rural areas. A yak ox would be cool to ride and a challenge to break. ;-)
State Farm Insurance Company.
Then I handed it back to him and walked out.
Must be a state-by-state thing. North Dakota is pretty much farm, ranch, Federal Land, or town...in that order.
BTTT!
bflr
That particular model is street legal. No permit needed under 650 gallons.
