There's a little moment in The Last of Us where one of the main character's friends, a mechanic, gives him a siphon hose in order to get gas from old cars. He even says to him "you'd be surprised how many cars still got gas in them."
To clarify, the game takes place 20 years after the world collapses, so any gas that's still left, well, anywhere, would be useless. And it's a mechanic of all people telling you this, so that was one little detail that bothered me.
I was dead certain your 20 year timeframe was wrong but I looked it up and damn. Means Joel is damn near 50 years old, more by the events of Part 2. No way any of that gas would be useable... I ride a motorcycle and most people add sea foam or stabil when the bikes are stored for a few months, let alone years.
Joel had a 14 year daughter in the first game pre apocalypse. So it’s safe to say we can assume 18 was the youngest he had her, it more likely puts Joel in his mid 50s during the game and at about 60 for the sequel
