The fuel truck would be great if you flew long distances a lot.
If you fly
infrequently or fairly locally, filling from cans isn't that bad. I
highly recommend
getting a water-separating filter of some sort, however... pump gas can
have a bit of
crud/water in it.

Our Cherokee 235 is burning 24 gph on takeoff, and around 14 gph in
cruise -- we use a LOT of gas, and do a lot of cross-country flights.

Needless to say, filling 84 gallon gas tanks from 6 gallon cans was a ROYAL
pain in the butt! Not to mention incredibly dangerous. Not to mention
having your nose 10 inches from the gas as you're pouring.

The Mighty Grape has a water separating filter, and can pump the gas *out*
faster than I can pump it *in* at the gas station. It's been a real
Godsend, and has saved me thousands of dollars.

AND -- best of all -- Atlas (our plane) runs far better on car gas than
avgas. No more fouled plugs! :-)
