I was taking into consideration the fact that if a zombie unicorn invasion took a few weeks to fully develop or even a real event such as a hurricane that is known of in advance everyone will run and buy fuel then so in reality most fuel would be gone pretty fast.It happens all the time in any Hurricane state.Most of a nations fuel supply is stored at special facilities in the tanks that you have at your typical gas station they only last a few days maybe a week on average before a tanker needs to come and fill them and that is from regular supply and demand.
You can get the fuel out of any storage tank easily with a siphon or use a hand crank powered pump you have to think outside the box when the usual devices and infrastructure have failed.Actually people get arrested for doing this all time stealing fuel from station storage tanks that is.
