    It's a good opportunity for souvenir collectors, though

    1) Buy some one gallon gas containers.

    2) Go down to your local gas station.

    3) Fill them up. Take Pictures.

    4) Keep the receipt!

    5) Seal them tightly. Maybe add some octane stabilizers.

    6) Hang on to them for 5 years or so.

    7) List them on eBay like so:

    Up for auction! The most valuable thing the world has ever seen: Cheap gasoline. Long since passed into the history books, these are some of the last remaining gallons of the thing that made America what it once was. Starting bid: $50.
