Carrying Spare Gas

Many people carry extra cans of gas to make sure they have enough to get through the entire 22-miles of the Rubicon Trail and to then make it to a gas station. I try and fuel up on my way out of Reno, so I can get back to Reno without having to buy fuel in Tahoe City!

Unfortunately, I failed to check my fuel before heading out last week. That day I needed three gallons to get me back to Reno.

Gas in Reno was $3.99 a gallon that same day. The news just said the AVERAGE price of fuel in the US was $3.18. So, where is fuel $2.00 or $2.50 to balance out these high prices?
