If you have a look at the link, you'll see pics of the aluminium drink containers attached to the rear of the seat that i use to carry an extra 1.5 litres of fuel.

I sometimes will do a 60 mile round trip just to get out. With all the hills one tank ain't going to do it. I only get about 80 mpg. So I have 2 tanks and sometimes carry a pre measured amount of oil for a half gal of gas, so I can fill at the pump.

I carry a film canister with the right amount of gas for 1/2 gallon just in case I need to fill up on the go.
Of course I could buy oil at the gas station, but those little bottles are so expensive. And I like running synthetic. If I run regular I need to run it more rich, and then it messes up my carb's setting and it runs crappy.

I carry enough oil for a gallon, much easier to carry 2.6 ounces of oil that to worry about a gas can, i get 60+ miles to a tank and have only needed the oil a couple times.
