was kind of a tongue in cheek comment, crapping on the old S-10s.
though it is interesting Bill still had enough gas for the truck 20 years into the apocalypse, and apparently to use on his traps outside the fence. Gas does not keep for 20 years, at least not the point of being useable in a internal combustion engine, he can find and hoard as much Sta-Bil as he wants it's not holding it up for 20 years. As well as having enough diesel for generators to keep electricity flowing until after his death, and natural gas for heat(and apparently running water? where's that coming from?).
He was pretty smart to pump the gas before he did anything else and before the electricity was shut off to the area(thus rendering gas pumps useless), which happened later when he was in the Home Depot.
Of course none of this is really that important in the overall story, just interesting to think about.
