Don't get me started on that. Gas goes bad over time. He was living on an island for 3 years. He was siphoning fuel from gas stations for that long. Even if he could've gotten usable fuel from one gas station for some time, the other gas stations fuel would've surely gone bad by the time he got to them.
Also, how exactly did he maintain that SUV? Did he just keep finding new cars to use? He would've had to re-equip the car everytime he got a new one.
I would've been much happier with the movie if he'd actually been forced to live like it was the stoneage. No power, no fuel, no nothing. I know the point was that he needed all that stuff in order to do his research and find a cure, I just thought it was insane that he was actually able to keep it all going. I know I shouldn't be asking to have all these things explained, but if you're going to show him siphoning fuel, you might as well have him explain everything else. The power grid could probably be kept running for at least a little while and I suppose you could just break in and hack the systems to keep the power on.
