Gasoline is much easier to store (you can keep a reserve in your cellar) and much easier to carry and trade than electricity.
Do you keep gasoline in your cellar? my understanding is that it goes bad relatively fast, so be careful to keep cycling it yearly at least.
African continent is probably the last place in the world where this is relevant, and they are on track to fix it.
You can store it but not very long, thats btw one reason why its not useful for private people to participate in wholesale/corp market: Even if you would get a small fraction discount for ordering large amount, you cant store that large amount long enough in your basement before it gets unusable (esp. Diesel).
