I seriously doubt with a gas gage and the fact that you can barley go 50 miles without seeing a gas station that you would ever run out of gas.

ditto that
I can think of several roads that had me off the throttle and all puckered up.
I despise the thought of pushing.....
And yes, there are some tight seal aluminum bottles for carrying gas. Chesck you local army surplus store, or off road store. They got em by the millions

When you figure out how to compress that gas let me know. Short of black hole magnitude gravitational forces it aint gonna happen.
