Agreed. When the Visa GC promo was going on, I got two of these:
6 Gallon Gas Cans
If you're getting free gas, the first fill up of the cans pays the purchase price.
After that, it's all gravy.
They work well, too - just remember to not turn the "lock" collar on the spout until you have the spout fully into the car's gas chute...
(I soaked my hand in gas before I figured this out...)
