I'm thinking more of a 10-gallon MAXIMUM purchase for anyone coming in with a passenger vehicle, golf cart, pickup, with or without a plastic gas container.
Commercial vehicles and RVs can have a 20-gallon maximum.
The object is to use LESS gas, not hoard more.

No, the object is NOT to have cars making long lines to get 3 gallons of gas, nor driving around wasting gas going station to station hoping to find some. I remember the Arab oil embargo well. Idiots were following tanker trucks around hoping that they were going TO a delivery and not returning FROM one. There were no cell phones and no internet, so people drove around just looking for a gas station.
If you have a 10 gallon tank, you can bring a 5 gallon (approved) container and fill that as well. Gasoline starts to vaporize at 140F, it's ignition point is 495F. I hope your garage is not that hot!
