I vote diesel, an infrequently used range extender with sitting ethanol gas in it isn't key to reliability...can be overcome but usage frequency / ethanol wont help - diesel less of an issue unless then need to add cat pee system for emissions.

Or if the battery is small and need to rely on range extender more frequently then I suppose it'll use more fuel / more frequent running will help reliability - but I personally only want the engine running on long trips / towing, etc

How about using refillable 20 pound propane tanks! Heck you could even carry a spare...

Another plus for diesel is bio diesel... seems like a good post apocalypse vehicle. Fill up at any abandonded fast food place.
