Sure you can but how many people actually do? In The Villages, probably very few. And when your 5 gallons is gone and the electricity is still off you aren't going anywhere. Our society is totally dependent on electricity. Gasoline is a very convenient way of transporting energy because of it's enormous energy density (for example, with golf carts, it can be about 80x denser than lead-acid batteries, for a Tesla the numbers are much better: about 22x) but it's production and distribution are still dependent on electricity.
