Where do all these people take the gasoline?


It doesn't have any sense xD

There is literally an oil refinery in the movie.

reply

No, I mean, the motor bike gang;of Dementius, or Max, or everybody not connected to Inmortan Joe. Where do they take the gasoline?

reply

Not sure, there must be other sources around. Probably best not to dwell on and just turn off the old brain.

Kind of like how the tanker in Road Warrior isn't nearly enough gas to drive a heavily ladened caravan 2,000 miles and then building a civilization off of. Just enjoy the ride.

What do you mean where do they take it?

Gastown exists to produce gasoline. The Citadel is where food is grown and water is collected. The Bullet Farm is where ammunition is produced. The three communities coexist via trade. The Citadel and the Bullet Farm rely on fuel from Gastown, just as Gastown relies on food from the Citadel, and so forth.

reply

The gang of Dementius didn't know any of these places existed, where did they take the gasoline before?

reply

Before they found Gastown they were taking gasoline for their own personal use. They were a biker gang, and needed to constantly refuel their bikes.

reply

From where did they take It?

reply

Anyone they came across to rob. They were like pirates.

reply

That's impossible, they didn't know Gastown before finding It in Furiosa, so as far as they know there isn't any source of gasoline.

I know is a pulp universe, doesn't have sense xD

reply

What does their knowing about Gastown have to do with anything? They roamed the countryside, robbing anyone they met.

reply

That's why I could never take seriously those Mad Max movies and Waterworld etc.

When it's obviously barbarian societies. With no food and gasoline resources. And those people have been in that barbarian stage for a long time. Which means they do not go to school, no one teaches them something. And you have to be smart and have knowledge how to make gasoline, how to repare things.

Yet all bad and good guys have unlimited source of gasoline to ride their adventures. No one ever eats and needs eating.
No one usually needs to drink water in the freaking desert.

While we saw in many apocalyptic shows that gasoline is the main problem people have when everything collapses. And eventually when show is long enough then we see how in few years characters start riding horses because of lack of gasoline. But in Mad Max they have working cars and bikes decades after collapse.

reply

Jaja yes well, it's clearly a pulp world not supposed to be taken seriously.

reply

yeah but when they tried moving on in Mad Max 3 - "The gasoline and V8s are gone now" people were like , this is shit , we wantz the broom broom cars back

But in Mad Max they have working cars and bikes decades after collapse.


Not in the originals, they don't.

Road Warrior is set only a few years after complete societal breakdown, which is why there is such a scramble for industrial goods like gasoline, firearms and ammo; in fact, Pappagallo specifically points out to Max that the life he and scavengers like him are living is inherently unsustainable.

By the time of Thunderdome, nobody's running around in gas-fueled vehicles anymore (the ones we see towards the end of the film have been converted to run on methane), and people with any technical knowledge (Master) are worth their weight in gold (pun not intended).

It was only Fury Road that decided to handwave away all that pesky "verisimilitude" nonsense with such phenomenally creative concepts as "Bullet Farm" and "Gas Town."

Do you mean where do they get it?
