Yep.
That's how Magnum does it...for that reason.

    Shipping in quarts will allow you to ship UPS without the $5/gal haz-mat fee.  Most of the time though the fuel is shipped by motor freight, which has similar regs, but different fees.  If you're shipping more than #200lbs, (roughly 40gal), it's much cheaper to go freight.




  Sorry for my error . 
  So , what you are saying is that if I order four gallons in one gallon jugs , I will be charged five dollors per gallon as a haz-mat fee. However , I can get five gallons shipped in quarts and the haz-mat fee is waived ?
