I've been thinking about that problem and here's what I've come up with so far:

A trapdoor in the bottom of the road warrior. Position the vehicle over the filler hatches to the underground gas tanks at a gas station. Open the hatch cover and run a siphon hose down into the tank. Using a manual pump siphon the gas up into an on board reservoir in the vehicle.

The only thing I haven't figured is how to get the proper octane mix.
