The thing that bugs me is where are they getting gas or diesel for their vehicles? It's been at least a year since the world ended so all the gas would be turning into varnish.
you think that is bad how long would a battery stay charged if the car sat out for a year or so. But all they have to do is cross the ignitio or find a key and vroom away they go
The writers have got to start considering this issue if they intend for the show to continue on a realistic story line.
Good Points... [;)]
Gas "can not" stay good F O R E V E R . . .
Not necessarily sure 'bout diesel... (Anyone have an idea?)

The obvious problem is how did Rick survive in the hospital? He wakes up from a coma, the only survivor in an abandoned hopsital. Being in a coma is pretty vulnerable. Why did the walkers leave him alone?
Hey Andrea,
When Shane left him at the hospital, He barricaded his door. Rick had to bust his way out of his room.
Besides gasoline, there is a finite supply of groceries to be scavenged. You can't keep trying to operate vehicles with rotten gas and you definitely can't keep feeding your group with scavenged food. The grocery stores and warehouses will eventually be depleted. You need to start thinking about producing instead of just scavenging. They had the right idea back at the farm and also, at least initially, at the prison, i.e. farming to raise their own food. Once the herd had passed, they should have all returned to Hershel's farm. What damage would there have been? One old barn got burned. They could have rounded up whatever livestock survived, checked neighboring farms for more, and gone back to building a survivable life there instead of going back to scavenging.

That's the greatest thing about TV.
You can take a half hr/ hr long show and have it seem like only hours, days, weeks or months have gone by in that time frame.
You're thinking of your current time frame/line during the show when in the show it can speed up or slow down any/all the time in the show.

I pulled about 45 gallons out of a used boat I bought. The boat sat at least a year before I bought it. I used the old gas in my mowers for over a year before hurricane Irene hit and used in it my generator. I used the last 30 or so gallons which were a minimum of 2 1/2 years old at that point with out a problem. Gasoline lasts longer than most people think.

Seriously. We did it in science class a couple weeks ago.
