AW has free candies in a bowl at the front desk, what does this guy have?

Going to AW is more convenient than just refueling in your own garage?
Plus, if you're in my shoes, where you need more than one tank of gas at a time, AW isn't even a real option. They're only open 'till noon on Saturday. When I'm out of fuel at 5pm Sat, I'm SOL for getting more before Sun, unless I've got a can at home. Right now, I've got 10 gallons of 100. That should be enough to nearly top off the tank in the car. Then I'm going to head over to AW tomorrow w/ my six 5 gal jugs to fill them up. That's 15 + (5*6) = 45 gals of fuel. If my mileage on the 100 octane is similar to my mileage on my old 91 map, that's enough for 4.5 20 minute sessions each day, running me short on fuel over a full weekend. Hopefully, my mileage is a bit better than it was in the past, but I still need a solution for getting large amounts of fuel in manageable sized containers, thus the goal of going with the 17 gal drums.
Even better would be a 60 gallon transfer tank in the back of my truck, so I could just head out to Davis Racing and fill up the truck, and refuel the car off the truck whenever... but I haven't been able to find a local place that sells transfer tanks at any price, let alone something I can afford (online they're like $1600 for one with an electric pump, plus $200 shipping
).
