These guys would buy the gas even if it's at 10$ and as a bonus, the gas station wouldn't run out as quickly.
Alternatively they could limit the maximum amount one can get to something like 10L or so.

There was 1 gas station in operation when we lost electricity for a week. About 4 miles outside of town was another gas station that had a backup generator to keep the pumps running. I saw a guy with a 300 gallon fuel container in his pickup bed waiting to fill it up while a line of cars were waiting their turns for fuel.
Perhaps he was taking the fuel to a church parking lot to distribute to the needy, by my cynical side thinks it was to hoard a scarce resource.
