Against my better judgement I've found myself watching "The Last Of Us".

We're in a post apocalyptic world.

One of the main characters just told us that not only is there little petrol left but also that the fuel which still exists is far less potent than it used to be. This explains why a tank full laboriously syphoned from other old vehicles along the road only lasts for one hour of driving.

Highly inconvenient you might think.

But even in this world the only means of transport that any gun-toting American (they're *all* gun-toting, whether good guys or bad guys, adults or children) can consider using would appear to be a huge gas guzzler monster truck.

Every so often there's a wrecked old bicycle to be seen on the set, but it doesn't seem to have occurred to anyone that it's possible to ride one.

This is a very very silly TV show which takes itself very seriously.
