I do this too. 
I figure if I'm going to go out of my way to go get some E, then I might as well make the trip more worthwhile so I don't spend as much gas/money going back and forth. I started with a cheapo 5 gal tank and graduated to 2 VP Racing 5+ gallon jugs.
Those jugs were designed for all sorts of exotic racing fuels, so they're pretty much everything proof, and pour a heck of a lot better/faster than all those cheapo gas cans, because they're for "offroad use only". I figure I fill up my car when it's not on the road, so I qualify. lol
Tip: For anybody considering these, the caps on these have a spout that screws into the top (sold separate). You'll need a 1/2" drive wrench or something to take the top cap in and out. I didn't know if there was a special tool that was needed or something, and found that the 1/2" works perfect.

My turbo flows quite a bit. It's 950/975cfm.... I took out my buddy Scotty out again. He rode I it each step I've had it. He hated the 400/420whp setup 20g, but loved my old 25g. So I did this and this time it's actually a little bigger. He said he couldn't breathe and his chest hurt. Haha. I wanna ride passenger..... Come drive for me?
Maybe throw on a 25g for me to accommodate

Johnny Baby, Where did you get those containers? Are they easier to use? The ones I use are just your normal 5 gallon containers.

question... what would happen if you bolted up the ZFR to a stage1 stock cobalt? Their site makes it seem like the car would run still? Is it drive-able to the tuning shop, for a few days, etc?
