You're all wrong. You want this:
 Realistically, I'd attach a huge reserve gas tank to a small ATV.

Constructed for the 1977 Sci-fi flick, Damnation Alley, the Landmaster cost about $1,200,000 (in 2008 bucks) to build. Fully amphibious, this 12-wheeled monster was no typical movie prop. Popular Science said this of the Landmaster: Three independent drive sources running from a gasoline power plant. Uses semi truck parts in the drive train. Can operate with the front or rear wheel trinary out of commission. Side and top hatches on the main unit and rear and top on the after section. Full running lights and brake lights for urban street use. External video camera is mounted on the forward pylon located just behind the front top hatch. Could also house the antenna. All pylons are hardened and armored. Can operate in water and will remain sealed when fully submerged. Can float while half full of water.

I remember that Damnation Alley vehicle used to sit in a parking lot next to the Hollywood Freeway (across from Universal Studios). I think it sat there for about ten years along with some other movie junk.

I don't get the purpose of the three-wheel clusters on the Damnation Alley thing. Seems overcomplicated to drive with no real benefit.
