I guess it'll come down to convenience and if I want to spend half an hour dragging it to the gas station or having fun.

Any other ways to fill? Anybody ever use one of these? https://m.northerntool.com/shop/tool...5161_200325161

Weight of a gallon of gas is approximately 6lbs (water is about 8lbs). The gas caddy holds 14 gallons. That is 112 lbs plus the weight of the caddy that you will be hefting around, so save 30-50 cents per gallon. That's a lot of gas and lifting to justify the cost of the caddy alone.

I agree with Codeman; save your money.
