Why can't you fill your car at the gas station like everybody else???.

Other than the unexpected inspector visits, it's just so very much easier
to fill up once every two months at the filling station.

It's all about the sheer convenience of gassing up at home.

On a different scale, it's the same reason you get water out of the tap,
instead of bringing a bucket to the village well every time you need a
drink.

Bull****... You think that it is easier to do... Normal people don't
store that much gas on their property unless it is in an inspected
and licensed tank facility on some sort of commercial or farm type
business...

In fact what you are doing is clearly asinine and you put yourself at
risk of being terribly burned in a car accident at least six times a
year since you idiotically decide to transport 50 gallons of gas in
your car...

If for whatever reason you NEED to keep doing this your way,
either buy a containment platform to keep your drum on in
case it develops a leak (or you neighbor decides to damage
it in some way so it leaks, then calls in to report fumes and
seeing the drum wet/leaking which would result in a Hazmat
response to your house and expensive environmental cleanup
costs) OR buy two UL approved flammable liquids storage
cabinets and store 5 of the 5 gallon containers in each cabinet
inside your garage...

Yet you keep doing this knowing that your neighbors clearly
object to it... You are setting yourself up to be in a position
where even if someone commits an act of arson or some
vandalism against you, you will end up having to pay for the
damages it caused anyone else as you chose to store that
large a quantity of fuel on your property when if you look at
everyone else on your street, they probably have no more
than 2 or 5 gallons of gas in a container and a 20 pound
propane tank for a grill...
