The thought of trying to move or carry a 50 gallon drum is not that
attractive to me either. How do you get it in and out of your truck?

I wasn't clear.
The drum is bought new, and transported empty.
Once in place on the concrete pan, it is filled from a delivery truck.

The problem, of course, is getting a truck to delivery 50 gallons of
gas which is a puny amount for them.

The other option, of course, is to just empty the ten 5-gallon
portable gas cans into the 50-gallon drums, so that the wife can
fill the car from the electric pump on the 50-gallon drums.

That would be slightly easier than me siphoning the gas, which is
what I do now (which is pretty easy so the electric pump isn't all
that much an improvement on the process).

Why is the gas station such a problem for her?

Well, she's driving something with a 50 gallon gas tank.
