I knew they hadn’t gone far.

I would say that is a reasonable assumption. Also gas in car gas tanks will be OK for another year maybe but if its anywhere where air can get to it it will start breaking down fairly rapidly by now on their timeline. And as such cars will become very erratic especially newer cars with all the computer controlled ignition systems. They can't handle bad gas very well.
Diesel should still be OK though.

Zombie movies or TV shows would be boring if characters just did the obviously bright thing.

Probably because it’s cheap to film the show in Georgia and because Georgia doesn’t have unions to interfere with the filming.
