Default Gas Cans may be a Good Idea

With the unrest in the Middle East and the current policy forbidding obtaining crude from the Gulf, there is a very real possibility of gasoline shortages in the near future. New gasoline containers are safe and nearly spill proof. I suggest you go to Amazon and look for CARB compliant gas cans. You can get these in 1.25, 2.5 and 5 gallon size from Amazon. These new cans have a liner that slows gasoline degrading.

This may sound paranoid, but I remember all too well the gas lines/shortages of the late '70s. Having ten or even twenty extra gallons of gas on hand may not be a bad thing. Heed bluedog's caution. Don't buy cans that will be too heavy to handle.
