Recnetly with the rising gas prices, I have used my 3@5 gallon fuel cans to stock up on fuel. Last stop it was $95.15. 15.8 gallons in the car and 10 gallons in my extra tanks.
That gives me a 15 gallon inventory above the full tank in the car. In the 2011 CBR that 15 gallons at 75 MPG, gives me a combined range of right at 1575 miles. That depends on the weather, since I avoid riding the bike in the rain.

Here we also have to deal with hurricanes and potential power outages that can last as long as a week, even closing the gas stations unless they have auxiliary power.

I try to fill the cans with precisely 5 gallons each so I can still keep track of my mileage, and when I post to my garage I will break the total consumed into two separate fills to keep my average tank miles close to correct.
