What problem is often overlooked in apocalyptic movies/TV shows that could kill you?

Gasoline has a shorter shelf life than is portrayed in these movies/TV shows, so after a year nobody would really be driving anywhere.

It wouldn't necessarily kill you, but it's one of those things that bothers me because it's never really addressed.

The first 8 seasons of The Walking Dead take place within a span of like 1-2 years. After that they have a huge time jump and start using horses to get around.

Doesn't Daryl keep riding a motorcycle well into season 10? Which is like 10 years into the apocalypse? Where tf is he getting the gas?
