yes inexpensive. I use method 2 in website http://www.wikihow.com/Siphon-Gas 
The siphon I have here is PR Performance Tool model W1144. labeled "Deluxe 
Siphon Hose". It is carried by Autozone.  This one works well. You start the 
siphon by putting a finger over the short end and pump the bulb. Most of the 
cheap siphons are junk and work poorly.  This siphon has a long and short 
clear plastic tube. You put a the long tube in the vessel you want to siphon 
and hold a finger over the short tube (lower down) and squeeze the bulb  a 
few times. When gas has filled the bulb and hose, take your finger off and 
siphoning will start and continue by gravity. Yes most of the newer cars 
have anti-siphon. See youtube video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k39E2PRofIo  You can pay more money for 
fancy siphoning devices that work on modern cars such as those offered by 
http://www.gastapper.com/ My cars are 2002 and 2004 model years so rather 
old.

Excellent point Steve - except I think you meant to say an INEXPENSIVE bulb 
type syphon.  They're cheap at local hardware stores.

  All great suggestions.  I have one more.  We have prolonged power outages 
due to downed trees knocking out power lines. Go out and buy an expensive 
bulb type syphon that's capable of handling gas. This lets you start the 
syphoning action easily. Fill all of your cars' gas tanks. Then, if a 
prolonged emergency happens, you can siphon gas out of your cars' tanks for 
emergency generators.  I like this approach rather than storing several gas 
tanks in the garage.  You don't have to worry about increased risk of fire 
in your garage, the gas is fresh compared to small gas tanks sitting in your 
garage for months (even with gas stabilizer), and you have a much larger 
supply of gasoline available to you.  Just filled my tank. Wow, gas prices 
really went up on Labor Day weekend.
