    A one gallon, fuel tank costs about $3. I'm using one for my gasoline energy tests by running the tank dry and putting in one gallon of the next test gas. I then drive to the current test station and add four gallons. It gives piece of mind to know you have a one gallon reserve. The one gallon tank doesn't take much space but make sure it is not in direct sunlight but under some sort of cover or shade and don't top it off to allow for thremal expansion. Once a quarter, dump it in and refill will fresh.

    Greetings, all!
    As a traveller, I enjoy riding electric cars as well since I am always looking for new adventures. Battery drain may occur after a few miles if travelling far. My Toyota Prius operated only below 60 mph when I owned it. So you get almost 1.5 battery miles. With the Tesla Electric Model, you get better long-distance fuel economy. In 2022, Tesla will be manufacturing solar batteries.

    ^ That new "member" isn't a real Prius owner, so must be here for some entirely different purpose. His claimed vehicle doesn't exist, but is just a random mismash of version and trim options from different generations and even geographies.
