FWIW.
Replenishing gasoline that's been depleted by emergency motor
generators may not be as easy as going down to the local Service
Station. Most often if you have lost power, so have they, and not
only will their pumps not work but neither will their cash registers
or credit card charging systems. The same may be true at the local
markets and hardware stores !
I spent a day waiting for a Baja Mexico gas station to be able to
pump, when they'd lost power. I had to spend the night, in their
parking lot, beside my off road motorcycle, that I was touring on .
In the N. CA earthquake of, I believe '85, we were without power at
home for 10 days. Fortunately the power company prioritized getting
power again first to the hospitals and their other commercial customers,
