yeah its crazy if someone goes through a tank a week they should get every jerry can and fill it up and maybe even buy more to avoid paying when gas hits 5 dollars a gallon on the east coast for the longest they possible can, but i doubt people in apartments want to have gas lying around either in the car or trunk of their car.
but electric is definitely a different paradigm. id probably suggest getting solar before shipping barges start running out of fuel. if you get solar then your not gonna be pulling from the grid as much
