Yes, I bought some oil this week and plan some periodic maintainence this weekend.

On the gas issue, I agree with your strategy. I have two Justrite Type 2 DOT safety cans. My research indicated that they were the safest available. After what happened in north Florida during the approach of Frances, I don't believe that I would employ an evacuation strategy wihout a couple of these in the van. However, I am still squimish about carrying gasoline inside a vehicle. I hope I never have to do it for more that a couple of miles..
