  • Well, it’s just me, no babies.  Sometimes I travel with my dogs because the host family has a fenced in area plus a kennel.  I buy gas in the US and carry extra 10 gal.  It’s crazy expensive in Canada.  I keep my vehicle in good shape.  I bring food and drink from home, never buy it out.  Dog food and water bowls, too. 

    You mean you have a sort of can for gas and take it inside the car? Isn't it too dangerous?

    I would imagine that she puts the can in the trunk.  That can be done, however, it does leave a gasoline smell in the car (so I've discovered), and it's not my preference.

    "Can" is probably a misnomer, they're almost always made out of plastic these days.

  • Rumors like this seem to come out now and then, but they generally don't come to anything. There was even the supposed ban two years ago of "Traditionis Custodes" that supposedly already banned the Latin Mass almost entirely, and how much difference did it make? It only closed a tiny percentage of traditional Mass locations.

    It did actually make a difference in the Cleveland Diocese.  Originally the bishop just ignored TC and carried on, but then the Bergoglio regime cracked down, and most of the Tridentine Masses are now gone.

    If there's smell, then there's gasoline in the air.

    I am not an expert, but it sounds to me like a dangerous situation, like it could favor an explosion.

    It will be fascinating to observe the unfolding developments. The Diocesan Traditional Latin Mass here was relocated from a parish to a recently constructed Chapel, initially designated for "special" ceremonies or school events, with a staggering cost exceeding ten million dollars. This decision has backfired and resulted in a surge of attendees, with nearly 400 individuals now attending every Sunday. Despite good intentions, these people have caused significant damage, exacerbated by their strong affiliations with the SSPX.

    I've been contemplating the potential outcomes: will there be a specified timeline for the TLM's continuation, or could it be abruptly discontinued? The coming months will be interesting.

    I'm not crazy about it, and only do it if I have some reason to need extra gasoline without returning to the gas station.  It's not something I do often.  In those cases, I get the can out of the trunk as soon as I can, and put it in the garage (which is more easily ventilated than a car trunk).  There was some impending crisis, don't recall which one it was (may have been a looming hurricane), a few years back, during which I kept 5-10 gallons of gas in my garage, as I anticipated shortages.  It ended up not happening, and I simply used the gas and washed out the cans.

    I wouldn't go around as a matter of course with an extra five gallons of gas in a can in the trunk of my car, let's put it that way.  Keeping the tank in my late father's Cadillac (which I rarely drive, it has several mechanical issues and guzzles gas, 14 MPG and that's probably being generous, get it out for a short ride once a week to keep the battery charged, also use it to haul things as needed) filled up, and parked in the garage, is my "gas storage" method.  I could siphon it out if I had to.

    These old big cars consumed gas like crazy even when they were brand new and had no mechanical issues. Gas was cheaper in the 70s, wasn't it? Even after the 1973 crisis.

    I agree. Storing gas out of the tank should be used only as a last option.

    I once read about a woman in the UK who stored many gallons in her house because she expected the prices to go up. Her house blew up.
