We're stalled out around $2.40. It could be that our stupid new 2015 state gas tax (thanks Arnold!) has already gone into effect.
Topped up another 5 gallon can at $1.849 the other day. Got one more to fill when I top off this week on my way to Valerie's farewell party. That will give me 17 gallons stored for a car with a 12 gallon tank. Basically enough to get through a full week of commuting and errands and a ~150 mile each way trip on the weekend without having to cut trips or cut it close on the long trip. In theory, in a SHTF scenario, not having the daily commute (and any long trip likely being one way) will stretch that to cover all of Texas and plenty of surrounding states in a pinch even starting from a dry tank. Full tank plus the cans covers most of CONUS and Mexico one way. If I have to go that far, I have no clue what I'd be doing at the other end of the trip anyway; most of my family and close-enough-to-crash-with-on-short-notice friends are within a half to 3/4 tank.
