I would put increment marks on the can with permanent marker, up to 5 gallons. Do this by starting with an empty can on a level surface and putting marks on as you reach every increment with the gas pump. It will make it easier to track how much you put into the car, just check the level when you set the can back down. Maybe even tie a scratch pad to the handle of the can.
