Every fall I fill 4-6 5gal jugs with fuel as we often get freezing rain/snow that results in several days without power. If I don’t use the gas in the winter I just use it to mow with in the summer. I have 2 acres to mow so it always gets used up. I can also use it in the 2 vehicles we have as slightly stale gas works fine in them. Always good to be prepared. I also have 2 generators, both Honda. One small one, 2200 watts, and the other one 5500 watts. The bigger Honda is over 25 years old and still runs great but the smaller one is more fuel efficient and runs most of the house except the heat pump. We just use the gas fireplace for heat.
