Oops. Looks like quite a few folks spent big bucks on portable emergency generators, but failed to consider refueling needs. Like somebody I know, who found his emergency power supply strangled by a plastic one-gallon gas can. Won’t get too far on that, Butch.

If I was going to prep big-time, I'd store gasoline at home...at least 100 gallons. Then again, the people we're seeing in these photos are urbanites. Where would they put such a storage tank?

If I were an urbanite, I’d go with propane in 20 lb. bar-b-que grill tanks. Expensive, but much safer to store and doesn’t require a fuel stabilizer for long term storage.

When I saw Hurricane Ike coming, I filled five 5-gallon containers, filled the van and both cars. I had about 90 gallons of gas that I could siphon off for any scenario. I drove my most fuel-efficient car across town to work and was one of the few people driving in Houston for the first two days after the rains quit. I never saw traffic so light.
