Everyone seems to use plastic VP fuel jugs vs Eagle Type II's, why?

I've never seen anyone with metal fuel jugs, but I'm sure the metal version are a lot heavier (as Brian mentioned) and more expensive. The plastic ones by VP Racing seem to be the most economical. I have eight of them. . . 4 in the trailer and 4 in the truck. When you buy them in 4-packs, they'll cost you about $25 each, or less if you shop around.

The Military uses metal fuel cans.... then again a 60 ton M1 tank could care less about weight.. Joe

I have plastic, however, VP has a new deal---free, metal, 5 gal fuel jugs with purchase of C11 & C12 fuel. The per gallon price is the same for 5 gal as 55 gallon so there's really no catch (except that VP cost more than Sunoco to begin with).
As a bonus, there is an unlimited shelf life until the can is opened.

Metal is stupid, I think you'd end up damaging your car with them.

If you had an opinion you would let us know, right?
P.S. - enjoyed running and talking to you this weekend.
