After sitting idle in gas tanks for more than 3 months, gas is pretty much useless. And no electricity to pump gas out of service station pumps.

Older cars are much easier to work on than newer cars.

Which is entirely my point. During a zombie apocalypse, I would think you would want to keep a car running as long as you could. Not many mechanics/stations around if and when the engine dies.

My point of contention was with the bolded, which is entirely untrue. I think you can probably find a working vehicle if yours breaks down.

It's not "entirely" untrue. I work for a fuels company, I know alot about gas/fuel. Sure gas will still "work", but the older it gets, the more damage it will do to your engine. It's that simple.

If 3-month old gas still works, I don't know that "pretty much useless" is a fair description.

If you think continually using old gas in a car won't hurt the engine and eventually having it seize up during a zombie apocalypse isn't a bad thing (pretty much useless), I don't want to be part of your group.I'll be the one to put an arrow through your head from the bed of my 84 Ford truck a few weeks later.

You seem to be taking this a bit personally. A number of folks in this thread already stated that they've started up their cars with three-month old gas in the tank without incident, thus rendering your bolded statement above a fallacy. I do respect the recitation of your resume as a defense mechanism though. That's good stuff.

These threads never get good until it gets personal

Damn you Maurile.

Your execution was a lot better.

Yes, after 3 months, gas will become useless, especially when there is no new(er) gas around to put on top of it. Don't know whats so hard to understand about that. Sure you will be able to drive around, but with the old gas in the tank (also accounting for more older gas being used to fill it up), the vehicle (again depending on what kind of vehicle) will eventually seize up on you. Aren't we talking about surviving here? Longeveity?

"The zombies are about to get us. Drive, drive!!""Are you nuts? If we drive away, the vehicle will eventually seize up, depending on what kind it is!"

"Oh, yeah. I didn't think of that. Never mind."

(They get eaten.)

Or they do drive, and keep driving into the middle of nowhere to escape, think they are safe, and the engine dies. Now they have nothing. In the middle of nowhere. With zombies on the way.

Escaping immediate death is useful.

 

[Copeman]

Your bolded line doesn't seem to equate to "pretty much useless." If you mean that eventually the cars will sieze up, does that mean you could keep hopping from car to car with old gas and get a few months out of that car? What is the point at which old gas can no longer be put in cars with no engine issue and work?

Discussion started as why they use old cars, and it went from there. My point is some older cars (most) are easier to fix/maintain, and most handle older gas better. Especailly trucks. During a zombie apocalypse, there is never going to be new gas.

[Dickies]

See the bolded? Being able to drive around is useful. Particularly if you are trying to get away from a zombie horde bearing down on you.

open scene: our tattered gang sees hundreds of zombies coming toward them from down the road. The group, struck with looks of horror and fear turn to Rick, their leader, for guidance.

Rick: "The zombie horde is almost here. Everyone into this van. We're going to put 25 miles or so between us an these zombies and then we'll regroup."

Copeman: "Rick, we can't do this. This van has been sitting here for three months. The gas in the tank is pretty much useless."

Rick turns the key and the van's engine roars to life.

Rick: "Looks like it's working to me. Everyone in, the zombies are on our ###."

Copeman: "Rick. The gas has been sitting idle in the tank for three months. It's probably starting to change characteristics. It will cause damage to the engine."

Rick: "What the hell are you talking about?!? The car is running!"

Copeman: "Well, sure, it's running now. But eventually the van's engine will be damaged and the van may seize up."

Rick: "It seems to be running just fine!"

Copeman: "Yeah, but in a week or two the van may seize up. And that's because the gas is pretty much useless."

Rick: "A week or two?!? These zombies are going to eat us in about 10 seconds. Everyone get your asses in the van."

Everyone but Copeman jumps in the van

Copeman: "I'm telling you that gas is pretty much useless. We should look for a fresher source . . . "

The zombies converge on Copeman taking him to the ground as the van speeds off into the distance, leaving the zombie horde far behind.

Lori: "The gas sure seems useful to me."

fade out. end scene.

How long would a population like the US last without prescription drugs? How many untimely deaths would that cause - and then they would of course rise. Would you be encouraged to tie grandma up while she slept?

I'm holding out hope that Lori's going to catch the Governor's eye, and the two of them will sneak off to rut in the South Tower guard shack. Slutty Lori was way better than Shrew Lori.

Everything about this scene you've described is nonsense. First of all, they turn to Rick. Rick wonders where's Lori. Cutscene: Lori is banging Copeman. She hears the yells of the group and then decides to hop off him long enough to go searching for Carl, who has disappeared yet again. They all come together to discuss the merits of the older gas...bickering back and forth, all the while T-Dog says nothing. The zombies are about to descend upon them when the van mysteriously backs up to them. The doors fling open. It's a cloaked woman with a sword and two zombie pets in tow. She motions them in the van. They drive off. Copeman gets eaten and Lori mounts one of the armless zombie pets...all the while T-Dog says nothing.

We see the group all surrounding T-Dog. They're berating him and questioning why he never talks. He reaches in Hershel's pile of spent shotgun shells and starts to manipulate them on the floor. After a few moments, we see the words take form: "I'm deaf, you @zzholes!"

After a deadly zombie attack that kills most of the FBG's, Copeman emerges from his sturdy 1984 Ford pickuptruck and uses his old gasoline to burn their bodies.

Copeman then looks as to why all the FBG's died, and he sees that they all were trying to open bottles of fuel additive because of their old gasoline and dinky cars, and that took up too much time. He laughs. He then drives away in his sturdy 1984 Ford pickup truck.

This side argument about whether old gasoline would work or not in a zombie apocalypse is a new low, even for nerds.

I wish I had never gotten involved.Considering there is no new gas coming from any nearby source, if at all, the argument is moot.

On the fuel issue you get yourself a deisel and run waste vegetable oil through it. Vegetable oil will hold up longer than standard gasoline and you pretty much got yourself a gas station at any stuckies or McDonalds in the Country.

After sitting idle in gas tanks for more than 3 months, gas is pretty much useless. And no electricity to pump gas out of service station pumps.

Older cars are much easier to work on than newer cars.

Which is entirely my point. During a zombie apocalypse, I would think you would want to keep a car running as long as you could. Not many mechanics/stations around if and when the engine dies.

My point of contention was with the bolded, which is entirely untrue. I think you can probably find a working vehicle if yours breaks down.

It's not "entirely" untrue. I work for a fuels company, I know alot about gas/fuel. Sure gas will still "work", but the older it gets, the more damage it will do to your engine. It's that simple.

If 3-month old gas still works, I don't know that "pretty much useless" is a fair description.

If you think continually using old gas in a car won't hurt the engine and eventually having it seize up during a zombie apocalypse isn't a bad thing (pretty much useless), I don't want to be part of your group.I'll be the one to put an arrow through your head from the bed of my 84 Ford truck a few weeks later.

This is disturbing on quite a few levels.

And while zombie marvin is still sitting in his Prius wondering why the car won't start after 9 months, I will first point and laugh, and then I will shoot him too. Then I will drive over the Prius in my 84 Ford truck. Which by the way, are very very easy to fix, and can pretty much burn any kind of gelled gasoline for quite a while before even thinking of seizing up.

What in the world are you talking about? Prius?

The Toyota Prius will help reduce your gas bill ...and your sex life
