Benefit of extra fuel tank.
I just went 1237 miles between fuel stops. I towed for about 600 hundred of those miles. I've got an extra 90 gallons in the truck bed. With rising fuel prices it's nice to avoid the gas station.

For those of you who couldn't see the benefit of extra fuel, look today at gas stations in the Eastern US. Due to the Colonial Pipeline issue, what is happening to those who need fuel and are unable to get it? Let alone paying the increased cost of fuel if they can get some.
Anyone? Anyone> Bueller??? Bueller???
I believe the point is that at some point you are going to have to get more gas. An extra tank isn't going to prevent that. Sure if both tanks full when shortage hits, you'll be able to go further without needing to buy more. But if the shortage lasts more than a couple days, you'll have gone through that reserve and are now in the same boat as everyone else.
And what happens if they then restrict gas purchases to 10 gallons per vehicle? Now your extra tank is of no use.
I don't think anyone is saying an extra tank is bad - they are simply saying it's not a necessity and for many isn't worth the extra cost.
