    Those EPA red gas cans are horrible. I gave all of mine away years ago as they kept getting more and more annoying to use. I use exclusively race gas cans used in motocross to fuel up my stuff. I'm not a dumbass so I know how to pour gas.

    Good thing there isn't a beer shortage!

    Next week I'm supposed to be picking up a new to me trailer. It holds 48 gallons of gas and 4000lbs of beer so I'm ready for the apocalypse or something.

    The news had a public service announcement for people not to use plastic bags to put gasoline in! I'm just going to come out and say it. People are very dumb. These same fools bought up all the toilet paper last year.

    I heard a clip on the radio this morning. Lady is being interviewed "look at that guy over there, he's pouring gas into a waterbottle. A Water. Bottle." lol

    Plastic bags is a whole new level. They really shouldn't bother trying to stop them, let them weed themselves out on their own? But chances are they'd end up hurting someone else instead. Kinda like drunk drivers who walk away from an accident while the other guys are in the hospital or worse.

    What's gonna be the next thing to hoard, food or water? Probably duct tape or tin foil.

    Why would that thing hold gas? Unless you mean LPG...

    There's a youtube video of a very brilliant lady at a gas pump, pumping gas into what looks like Walmart plastic bags. At least it looks like she double bagged it. Then she tied them at the top and put them in her trunk. Genius! I'm too lazy to link it here.
