The gas will be always available, the only question is what will they ask for it. The OP can set aside some money (comes in boxes marked ".223") for an emergency purchase, if the getaway is the main goal. You don't want to store too much gas anyway because you can't take all of it with you. You'd have to buy on the road.
if you're going to stay in place and defend, it's a different story
Only if you want to illustrate an indefensible situation :-) In the Mad Max world gangs will have numbers and weapons, and they will be after your fuel. To defend yourself you need to match their numbers and weaponry. You need a small village and a defensible terrain, and even then you are just one RPG hit away from a fiery disaster. Who said that a gang can't use a helicopter or a mortar?
The large cities would be the worst places to be,,,
Think of the 60’s riots,,,
This “bug out” thing seems like a bad idea to me,,,
The “King” riot comes to mind,,,
I'm in the South and I will stay in my home,,,
All I mainly need is more water storage,,,
Maybe more MRE’s,,,
We can just stay home for about 3 months + or - ,,,
There are 4 vets and about 10 “Young’uns” in this area that
make a very large “kill box” ,,,
Neighborhood SWAT is in effect...;0)

.223 has it's uses,and I have a mini-14 chambered in that caliber, but I much prefer my 762x51/.308 Panther™ LR-308T from DPMS
Funny thing...I have something in every common caliber especially in the readily available "military" calibers...or I did before I lost some of them on a hunting trip a couple of years ago...

I like my chances

I've always said I've been living on borrowed time since '68...nobody lives forever.
Since you have no idea where I live or the nature of my place (hint, it's not in a town) or where everything is sited, I'm going to allow myself a wry smile and keep on keeping on. 8^).
It's good to have a plan.
