And, at least around here, it is much easier to find a fill of gasoline than it is a fill of propane ... cost is also a consideration ...

Propane is pretty easy to find all over, especially where it's the primary source of fuel to most homes in the mountains. Cost is always a consideration, for any fuel, I agree; especially in CA!

Any gas can experts out there? I need to purchase a 2 1/2 gallon size, (I already have 2, 5 gallon eagle brand type 1 gas cans) and trying to decide which one to purchase.

I have 2--Made in the USA Eagle Safety gas cans. 1---2 gallon and 1---2.5 gallon. Mostly use to fill generator when traveling or lawn equipment at home so the DW can mow the lawn regularly. I'm not sure but I think the Justrire brand is MIC brand. I got rid of all plastic containers. BTW gas weighs 6.2 lbs per gallon is why I don't want/need 5 gallon. Too heavy for old man of 75 to hold up to fill things. I'm not a gas can expert but I've been around a while.
