You can't stockpile gasoline for a long time without stabilizer.

Source: I've mucked up multiple small engines with bad stored gas.

sure, you can get propane or diesel setups that keep somewhere between a long time and indefinably.

You can't store diesel forever, either.

Propane, sure, but now you're talking about something fairly exotic, at least in terms of vehicles you can buy "off the shelf."

In any case, you can't produce propane yourself. You can "produce" electrons with a solar panel.

Edit: My bias is toward North America, but I know of only one model of "normal person car" (city buses don't count) produced in the last 50 years that you could just walk into a dealership and purchase new: The Honda Civic NX. And that was sold for only a few years and only available in California.

Yeah but the Chinese minerals and the exotic infrastructure needed to manufacture cans and hoses...
