Travel Distance available for a squad is based on the average mileage and total fuel for the entire squad (not the lowest vehicle in the squad). A vehicle's fuel tank can be filled at each town's mechanic shop (Jake's in Somerset, for example). Upon entering the shop, you will need to select your vehicle, scroll down to the fuel tank and select "Refuel." | Travel Distance available for a squad is based on the average mileage and total fuel for the entire squad (not the lowest vehicle in the squad).

Additional fuel can be carried outside of the tank in the form of cargo. Gas cans can be purchased in each town's Marketplace and must also be loaded into the vehicle there. Each gas can takes up 10 capacity and provides just over 8 additional units worth of fuel to the vehicle or squad. Three cans provide 25 units. | Additional fuel can be carried outside of the tank in the form of cargo.

Alternatively, instead of carrying gas cans as cargo, a dedicated support vehicle with a very large fuel tank (40+ units) may be added to a squad to increase its overall range. A pickup is ideally suited for this role due to its relatively small size and large capacity. Additional ammo for the squad can also be stored in the support vehicle and distributed as needed to other vehicles in the looting phase after a successful battle. | Alternatively, instead of carrying gas cans as cargo, a dedicated support vehicle with a very large fuel tank (40+ units) may be added to a squad to increase its overall range.
