I've been using a backpack for the last 30 years. When I first started riding, I couldn't afford saddlebags but I did have a couple of small canvas backpacks.
Now, I wouldn't trust saddle bags. At work, I have to leave my bike out on the street where there's a lot of "homeless" and "convict" traffic. While nobody (other than tourists) has messed with my bike yet (including my detachable windshield and backrest), I just have this nagging suspicion that an unlocked bag would be an invitation for somebody to check out the contents.

I use one everyday...nothing ghey about it! I spent a long time researching what to get and chose this: http://www.chromebagsstore.com/bags/laptop-bags/soyuz.html
Loads of space, slot for laptop, front strap to keep it in place and I loosen up the straps so the bag rests on the back of my seat.

i rock the Base910 with various other attachments as needed. thing is super comfy and and totally modular so you can add/subtract more compartments as needed.

I ride in a backpack all the time to work. Between DC and Baltimore a lot too. No big deal.
As for the fuel can, fold a piece of tin foil up, put it in a ziplock bag and duct tape the bag around the can. The foil can be formed into a funnel and wont take up any extra room. Or use a paper funnel, whatever.
