If you need a government agency to tell you not to put gasoline in a plastic bag you need your head examined.

I'll bet you are all missing the point. She has it covered!
There's a snap on lid for that large tub. That will make it safe.
If I recall, the 5 gal or less can into which the gas is put at the pump needs to be RED and labeled as gasoline. At least I think that's the rule here in Ohio.

I don’t shop at that grocery store anymore - I go to one in a “young” neighborhood about 3 miles north of me. I stay away from those old ladies after surviving several altercations with them.

The tub and it's snap on lid is designed for dry goods not holding liquids. That lid won't stay on if that gas starts swishing around.

I just got a call from Genesis Corporate and they are setting up a compensation package for me in the amount of $1036.45 which is equal to my monthly payment on the car. Once I sign the paperwork and return it to them, they will send out a check to me for my inconvenience. That is a nice gesture on their part.😜🤪🤓
By the way, the radio replacement + labor was $7700. Amazing!
Update: Just got the email from Genesis Corporate - signed the letter of agreement to provide me with compensation for one month's payment in the amount of $1036.68 and I pulled up a copy of my monthly statement and took photos of both - attached the photos to the return email to an email and already received a notification that they received the documents. Mercedes and BMW and Lexus never did anything like this when they gave me trouble with the 740i and the E400 and the GS350. At least they are doing their best to ensure customer satisfaction with consumer relations.

Where have you been? It’s been back. Women live in leggings and sports attire these days. My wife must have 30 different Under Armour/Pink outfits.

I can’t help but think most of this fluff is made for the internet. I’d hate to think these people are in the voting both next to me on election days. Just can’t be can it?

Even if it is just people doing it for the internet it's still a very stupid thing to do. I mean what to you do once your filming is done and you have two gallons of gas in a plastic bag?

Pour it into your tub so you can put it in the trunk.
Am I remembering correctly that long ago someone in a van had put a tub of gasoline inside the vehicle so the gas could gravity feed to the carburetor on the engine since the fuel pump wasn't working. Didn't the van catch on fire from the fumes? This was when the engines were protruding back into the passenger compartment and under a cover.

Do you really expect people who do this stuff, whether for real or an internet stunt, takes the time to think ahead?

In St. Lucia, petrol is USD $4.15 a gallon. That's a steep price for our less affluent Caribbean neighbors. Yet they are willing and able to pay these confiscatory prices.
North Americans may grovel but I believe they will willingly pay north of $5.00 a gallon for regular gas to fill their big and inefficient SUVs. And that may bring an end to the SUV craze and usher in electrified vehicles in a big way.
In the meantime, EV auto makers are drooling over themselves hoping to sell sub- $30k EVs. At this juncture the Chevy Bolt looks like a strong candidate if you can find one.
I would like to see a smaller and much cheaper EV with good range. Since it would be a second car for around town use, spending "real" EV money makes no sense.

Also, politics over the past 30-40 years. If anything, with social media, the stupid gap is widening.
Social media brings out the stupid in people IMO.
Our campground has a FB page for the seasonals like us. The amount of stupid questions and comments that get posted blow my mind. There were 50 comments yesterday about a simple post that electric bills are read by the 1st and due by the 15th. You can call the office or stop in the store to pay. After the 15th you pay a late fee. It doesn’t get much simpler... yet people would ask the same questions over and over. Mind you, the way they do it has been for years with zero change.

A friend had a Bolt and it would meet or exceed the 270 mile when weather was temperate, but in cold weather range would be depleted by 40%. He said he never use the cabin heater, just heated seats and maybe steering wheel.
Battery swapping is a great concept but might never happen, big problems with a battery coming out easily every time (corrosion, mud, rust etc), and all batteries would have to be the same one.

Tesla had a battery swap system that was really fast, the problem was that it would require a big investment by the place that would do a swap. The big players in the motorcycle industry are coming together to have a standardized battery to make swap outs easier.

This makes perfect sense. Our golf cart batteries drain really quickly when it’s cool out. I’d suspect at least 30-40%. In the summer I can get
the whole weekend on a charge, in the early spring and fall I have to charge it each day.

What will these folks do with their gas in tubs and in plastic bags now that the gasoline is
flowing in the 45% of the daily amount that was shut down?
I can just see her dipping gasoline from the tub and pouring it into the funnel into the tank--bet she doesn't even have a funnel...
Or they might just pour it down the drain.

Several years ago Tesla did a demonstration showing the battery swap being faster than filling up a gas tank. The issue with fast chargers is you can only charge a car as fast as the infrastructure can deliver power.

Back in college I got the boyfriends of my girlfriend friends in trouble. They saw me opening the door for my girlfriend and got mad when their boyfriends wouldn't do it for them.
