"Gas! Petrol! Guzzolene! Listen! Hundreds... thousands of `gallons... as much as you want!"
―Gyro Captain to Max

Guzzolene is the name used to refer to gasoline in the Mad Max series. It is used in Mad Max 2, Mad Max: Fury Road and Mad Max (2015 video game).

Description[]

The term guzzolene seems to have replaced gasoline in the Australian wasteland vernacular. It is used by several characters who are aligned with different groups: Max, Gyro Captain, Feral Kid (as voice-over narration), Wez and an unnamed marauder. The guzz- base of the word that replaces gas derives from guzzle, to greedily drink.
