It could make you dizzy and that's not a good thing while driving a vehicle yo...

I seriously doubt it will or could kill you, but make sure that the windows are at least partially rolled down, assuming it is not too dark and there aren't too many scary people around!

I have one vehicle where there is no trunk so transporting a jerry can means it's technically in the cab. I put both windows down and the air on full, yet still the fumes have an effect on me. If you need to do it, get as much ventilation as possible going and get the trip overwith ASAP. If you were to take the cap off the jerry can, put your nose right in it, and take about 10 deeeeep breaths you could go unconscious or possibly die. But, simply having it in a vehicle (providing there's good ventilation) shouldn't pose much of a problem. The fumes are worse on a hot day than a cold day, so that's something else to keep in mind.

I've never had a problem with one and I've owned a minivan, two hatchbacks, and two wagons so I am used to not HAVING a trunk. Hell, I've even smoked with a 2-gallon can in the passenger's side footwell! HOWEVER, I make sure that the cap and vent cover on the can are tight. With that can closed, I can't even smell the gas from three inches away. The tank I have is VERY well sealed.

First of all, calm down! Secondly, a good idea is to simply crack a few windows. Make sure the lid is crewed on tightly and snap closed the vent. Problem solved.
