10101,
I am also new to this forum and have been reading each post. Yours is one that concerns me so I am replying to it. Storing gasoline in any amount is risky business at best, not to mention all the local fire control, insurance, and environmental regulations that I'm sure are out there, and could be different for each area.
I did a web search about it and found this very good homestead site (For safety sake, homestead fuel storage must be handled properly by Emory Warner Issue #43). The author goes on about the benefits of kerosene instead, but you may find it interesting.
I have worked in an industrial area where many volatile, explosive solvents were used in the chemistry and accidental ignition from static sparks, etc. are very commonplace without the correct safety measures in place.
Ok, enough said on the safety issue. Thanks for the post. I'm sure many folks are wanting to store gas while it is trending to lower prices at this time.
