so you are the last human on earth

Most people don't know that both gasoline and batteries have a shelf life. Unless you can find enough gas stabilizer to treat a few tankers full of gas, you won't have useable gas for very long. Possibly a year at most.

Batteries usually have a shelf life of 2-5 years.

Now, if you can find a bunch of unactivated lead acid batteries and a decent sized solar panel array. Lead acid batteries last for about 5 years once "charged". You can at least have a "powered" house for a few decades. There are plenty of books on setting up a "solar powered house".

If you can find an electric car, like a tesla etc., you would then have transportation for several years.
 
Assuming food, water, and shelter could be reasonably attainable, at least for a few years, I'd like to think I'd pursue some sort of personal excellence, like reading the classics, or mastering an art like painting or several music instruments, or pursuing a disciplined physical and/or mental fitness like Shaolin Buddhism or Yoga.

But really, I'd probably just end up killing myself in a spectacular ball of fire when I run my Veyron into a tree or off a cliff at 200 miles per hour.

Either that, or just as likely simply drift away in a heroine or morphine induced euphoria.

Don't mean to correct but it's a Bugatti Veyron.
