> If the power is out at your destination you're unlikely to be able to operate the gas pumps either. In areas where power outages are common, gas stations have their own generators to continue operating. This is common where I'm from, so very familiar with it. > Who brings emergency gasoline supplies with them on a family trip with young kids? The suggestion is ludicrous. This is very easy. I always bring a jerry can with gas (or diesel) on longer road trips, just in case. For more remote destinations (camping out in the desert/wilderness) I bring as much as four cans of diesel to be self sufficient in case plans change.
