First, let's calculate how much money Charles has left after buying the bottle of water.
He started with $53 and spent $3 on water:
\[
53 - 3 = 50
\]
Now, Charles has $50 left to spend on gas. The cost of gas is $5 per gallon. To find out how many gallons of gas he can buy, we divide the amount of money he has left by the price per gallon of gas:
\[
\frac{50}{5} = 10
\]
Therefore, Charles can get at most **10 gallons of gas**.
