It is essentially impossible to syphon gas out of modern cars. They’re designed that way on purpose. That’s why modern gas thieves take a battery powered drill and drill a hole in the fuel tank (which can be dangerous for what I hope are obvious reasons). There are other ways to get fuel out of a car but they either involve having the keys and a charged battery (plus making noise and not going very quickly) or tools, even more time, and mechanical knowledge. Plus being vulnerable to being eaten by zombies while you’re under the vehicle.

Also, gas goes bad.
True but in carbureted engines, you can run old gas once the engine gets hot. Starting the engine is a bastard and they idle like shit but you can still drive.

In both zombie and post-apocalyptic literature, people are constantly syphoning for gas.
Just read a zombie book where the author doesn’t seem to realize that Bears hibernate in the winter. You’re not gonna see black bears looking for food in snow drifts.
