We went through this same situation in 1973. I lived in Key West then and was going somewhere to race almost every weekend. We all were carrying 5 or six 5 gallon jugs in our vans. If we ever wrecked it would have been ugly.

This shortage is temporary, but it could get a lot worse.

I am right now thinking of installing an extra tank in the bed of my truck.

In 1974 I had a Ford pick-up with two 25 gallion boat tanks in the bed. I had a range of about 600 miles. By then there was no shortage but it made it beneficial to price shop and get gas at the best price.

In retrospect, it was probably a pretty lethal situation!
