Every one I know goes to a gas station with his car and his lawn mower can of gas, fills it up and returns home with it to fill his lawn mower/snow blower etc. Ditto for guys buying gas for their boats instead of buying high priced marina gas. There probably is more danger in driving our old cars in a collision (no air bags etc) so if you play the numbers, don't drive old cars whether you have a gas can in them or not

I use the plastic cans as they can expand/retract with changing temperature while remaining sealed as the tin cans leak fuel/vapors.
