3) your town does power cuts, and you are tired of having to drive to east
no where to find a station with power, and then sit for an hour to get your
turn at the pump.
3a) for the gas to get to work
3b) for the gas to run your generator
4) you're in hurricane country, and want to be able to evacuate, without the
hour long wait for gasoline at the station.
5) you have a big back yard, and it takes more than a tank of gas to mow the
lawn
6) you're mistrustful of the JIT system, and want your own reserve of fuel

There's only 2 reasons why someone might want to maintain a small store
of gas in his backyard:

1) It's a long way to the gas station, and you're going to burn a lot of
gas going there just to get your gas. So get as much as you can in one
trip and bring it all home for re-distribution.

2) You want to save a few bucks by buying gas when the price is low.
It's just that you want to buy a LOT of gas when the price is low -
enough to last you a month.
