How many gallons of gas are you going to store for the next storm?

I had 22 for this past storm, technically would have lasted what i needed. But next storm, i may be upping my usage a bit, i bought 2 5 gallons cans extra already. Getting 2 more cans would put me at 42 gallons going into a next storm event prep. I will make sure i have my lawnmower filled up next time too so that i can cut grass once or twice when i have nothing else to do and not worry about using gas needed.
52

I had around 30 stored up, went through around 90. So yeah i'll probably add to my can arsenal for the next one.

Won't store anything. If we lose power, we will be long gone to our ranch 6 hours from the coast until power comes back on. That's what we do every time.

same as always. 25 in cans, 8 in the 10kw generator, and 100 in the boat that is easily siphoned out with the extra hose I set up from the water separator. so 133 gallons+-. Run generator about 12 hours a day keeping house cool and everything froze. burns around 8 gallons a day doing that. Can go 15-16 days roughly like that and be very comfortable.

Only what I need so there is enough for the bloke behind me to take more than what he needs.

probably going to convert my portable generator to propane. I had 30 gallons in cans, generator full and 20 gallons in my boat. burned through that in no time. At least with propane I can get a couple 25 gallon propane tanks and be good to go. (I didn't have a problem getting propane at all for my gas grill)
Either this or I am going to break down and get a whole home unit and put a big tank in my back yard.

Don’t forget the TP for those bungholes.

3-4 of the 5 gallon cans and a full vehicle. I can understand those closer to the coast having 40-50 gallons in all honesty.

You spelled "go away" incorrectly.

I had 100 gallons and never had to worry about gas shortages or waiting in line.

I’m at 65 gallons and counting, but i only keep 5-5 gallon cans with usually only 2 or 3 full. I did go into ida with 25 gallons in cans and 6 in the 5500w generator. But we’ve doubled that and if power doesn’t come back on today I’ll need to get gas when I get home from work.
