Not where I live !
E10 is NOT as bad as people make out ! Just don't store it more than 2-4 weeks and make sure to run the carburetor dry after every use.
That along makes it not great for small engines where 5 gals could last all summer

As you mentioned previously, with the OEM spout stored inside the container it will eventually leak gas everywhere. We travel with the spout on the outside and secure the end with a pin-hole, vented cap. It's never leaked, expanded or collapsed even in temps as high as 105 deg or temps as low as 0f. Also, we never fill above the "fill" line on the side of the container.
Thanks, I think this suggestion on a vented cap is the way to go. Just a pinhole should be enough to handle temperature and pressure changes.

It’s not as big of a deal as you think, most of the time and under normal conditions.
A bit of over thinking still happening here.
