Guess you have a point. I never heard of storing a few gallons of gas being illegal....something new for me. With lines for gas they way they are, I am sure some are hording gas, or they were until they set a limit on how much you can buy. With fuel prices at $4.65 a gallon, I think that would make one think twice about buying as much as they could.

And you are right, times like this sure let you weigh what is important and what is not.
Hope all is well, be safe!
