It's been 321 years since the last 9.0+ in 1700. The current emergency management plan for this area is to be prepared to be without power for a minimum of 30 days. I use my 2 vehicles as fuel storage backup for my generators. Between the two I never fall below about 20 gallons / 75 Liters of available backup fuel along with the 5 gallons I keep in a separate gas can to fuel lawn equipment, etc...
Interesting way to store gas, & it's always somewhat fresh that way, too. Unlike storing gas in numerous cans or a large tank for the generators.

Let's hope for the earthquake skipping a couple extra hundred years this time.
