What's with the new gas cans, I think that they are stupid with the new nozzle that hardly lets octane out. I think that I might have to go back on the old metal cans again.

I've had a couple, from different manufactures. Some worked well and a couple were to slow. I think the better ones are fine and don't leak gas or fumes. I like that.

Hmmmmmmm..... My one 'ventless' can works great.

I have a Blitz ventless gas can. It works great. I like it, it doesn't swell up like the old gas can did when sitting in the sun.
I picked up one of the Blitz 2+ plastic cans last summer. I used to hate their stuff with the accordion style yellow spout that would not accommodate a cap -- it was necessary to remove the assembly and invert the spout into the can to seal it. Anyway, this one's got no vent opening on the can. The solid spout has an interior vent tube, and there's a snap-on cap that works rather well. The can balloons up or caves in just like they've always done when the temperature changes after use, which suits me just fine.
If that's the style you guys are talking about, I like them a lot. Part of the reason is the shape, with the regular handle on top and indentations on the tapered back side to allow for a good hold with the spout down as the can empties. It dispenses at a speed acceptable to me.

As we knew them, 'old' style fuel cans are illegal...have been illegal to manufacture.
Due to CARB & EPA under the Emissions & Permeatation standards.
Some still maybe bought, but they're.................gone.
Just wait till you see some of the new reg's on the horizon.
California (CARB) has now pushed thru a third round of standards, and the EPA will be adopting them.
Some of the new containers will be good,...some not very operator friendly. So check 'em out before dropping the $$$.
One advantage of the new containers is that they'll develop less condensation, which does build up when left in the sun, then gets put away in a cool dark spot, like a garage, compartment, etc.

Can you enlighten us on what these new regs will be?

California Air Resource Board (CARB) located in 'Wackafornia'...(what Firearms Industry calls it), has developed CARB Tier III proposed standards.
Adopted to California law, one of the first things the Terminator Govenor did was to put an Executive Stay (hold) on them from going into effect.
Based on, Vaporization, and Permeatation.
Vaporazition occurs anytime a gaseous fluid is exposed to less pressure, containment, heat, etc., is can expand.
As it does, it can change to a vaporous form. Common example is watching gasoline fumes when pumping gas.
Ever notice some gas stations have 'boots' over the pump nozzles, and line attached to the gas pump hose?
Part of a Vaporazition Recovery System (VRS).
New laws.....will----have forced that on Portable Fuel Containers, and soon......s
n on engines on hand held equipment thru larger engines.
Permeatation is the actual leakage thru gas lines, air vents, vent lines, fuel tanks, fuel containers, and even gaskets.
Standards controlling-preventing-...and stopping leakage have been developed.
New materials, clamps, etc....????? All cost $$$$$$$$$
"Nuff for now".

Blitz
Ya, the Blitz was the one I've done well with. I don't care about pollution standards that are lip service like Rocky mentioned. And it is nice to be able to toss the cans around and not have them leak as well as when they end up in the cab not to leaking fums.
