Ive actually given this a lot of thought, and I would have to say it would be 1 of two vehicles.
top pick for me, hummer H1 diesel.
yes, I know it gets crap for mileage... BUT, its bio-diesel convertible and if we're talking a wasteland, end of civilization as we know it, scenario. I cant think of any other vehicle Id rather be driving if I need to run down some zombies or something along those lines
plus, it has more than enough room for those supplies mentioned, along with more than enough towing power to haul a decent sized trailer.

if that isnt the scenario and we're just talking a single vehicle to drive/own/repair, it would have to be a Subaru Outback (sorry mazda protege5 !)
the AWD would def come in handy, it can haul a decent sized trailer, and Im pretty sure there are quite a few things to increase its mileage. there might even be (havent looked into it) a diesel engine that would work. if so, well, another bio conversion would be in store
