THE CASE FOR DIESEL ( Repost in response to SD comment)

[Tartar Horde]

For people living in the sticks the most sensible option post SHTF would be to get Horses, and or learn to ride and tack them up. The fuel would run out pretty quickly I reckon, and what was left would be very well guarded. A good Horse can go anywhere, has permanent four wheel drive and runs on grass. And if it breaks down you can eat it.

Another plus with Horses is that you don't have to use the road system, you can simply go across country avoiding conflict that you are bound to get regarding road blocks and attacks on vehicles etc.
