Who carries extra gasoline, and in what container?

Carrying extra gas I think can be important in remote areas and only the foolish or shall we say the ultra adventurous go there knowingly without careful analysis of fuel requirements. Especially important if you ride alone. Carrying extra gas is also the ultimate insurance against an unidentified (until to late) gas leak or a ruptured gas tank from a drop. That is also why I would not carry a large tank on the side because it will get eventually whacked (at least in my riding world). It works on the tail rack but does change the bike handling some. Two small fuel bottles also seems a good solution. I recently got a 3/4 gal tank I think a good compromise. They have come down in price a good bit recently.
