Thinking of adding and external tank for trip

On our first trip north in 2011 with a Ford F-350, I just carried 3 5 gallon fuel jugs. Only used them once to get past a remote area where fuel prices were off the chart.

Those fuel jugs are way less money than an installed tank!

Fuel prices are a real good reason to drive on the upper 1/2 of the tank, if possible, and have the luxury of passing one of the few roadhouses that really screw people on fuel. A few times I've pulled into a stop, glanced at the price at the pump, and at the fuel guage, put it in drive and went another fifty miles, to a place where fuel is 20-30% less. I remember one place that was so greedy that they made sure to post big signs with their ridiculous price, at the entrance to their long driveway back to their campground, and absurdly priced pumps. I got the feeling that it was done to eliminate nasty exchanges by potential customers who drove off the highway, and were not happy about the attempted "stick-up".
