I think a really good idea for a gas-based character is a chemist.
This person was a chemist before the zombie apocalypse. They specialized in synthetic fuel, which turns out to be really handy for this car-based world.
Level 1: Occasinally get an event to synthesize gasoline from food, 1 food for 10 gas, however, the fuel only works for newer cars, so cars like the classic, the old car, and the station wagon are unable to use it.
Gains 1 point in mechanical, 1 in medical
Level 2: Gains an additional point in medical
Level 3: Synthesized fuel works on all cars, no matter the type.

Looks good but remember 2 things when making perks
1. The upgrade system, since each perk can be upgraded twice, you have to write out what level 2 and 3 versions would be like
2. Perks can NOT affect personality stats, as this would clash with certain traits and thus cause coding problems
So this is a mix of Merciful/Innocent Traits I've read throughout this, and i thought i'd put my spin on it. Thanks.
Trait:
Innocent
Description:
Pure and Lovable Buddy... Will Probably Die.
+ Super Happy, Will make Others Happy!
+ May Ignore Despair.
+ Max Attitude, Composure and Loyalty!
+ Super Friendly! Can make friends with pretty much anyone! (This includes Feral Dogs and Cats)(Unless the person you're trying to befriend has Minimum Attitude, what a Dingus. When failing to befriend someone they lose 2 morale. Sad. Otherwise if you succeed, they gain max Morale.)
- Will stop you from killing animals, robbing, and Fighting bandits.
- Loses ×3 (Triple) the morale when robbed and or similar Events.
- Pretty Low rolls for Wits (Won't ever go past 3)
- Absolutely Will Not Fight! Can still throw furniture and things of the like, though. Until they at least have 3 in any Combat Stat, (this would trigger a special event where a character with high enough Attitude Convinces the Character to flex their awesomeness and fight. This would cause the Innocent to lose two (-2) Points in morale. But they can finally fight!)
- -2 Strength, -2 Fitness, -3 Shooting. Biggest Down Side, Poor thing can't even hold a bat right.
- (Wouldn't be mentioned in description) This may sound like a long shot- when a character is killed in a text event, the Innocent will suffer a permanent morale loss (-1) and automatically have minimum Morale. (This can be fixed if the Innocent encounters a Dog/Cat or Helps/Recruits a new teammate.) During the event the rest of the party, if there is any, Will lose one morale at seeing their Buddy Sad (If they have high enough Loyalty), and gain +1 in Composure.
This would be like a added event to the text event?
Woah! So powerful... why are my legs still stubby?
+ Unarmed Attack replaced with a real cool shock wave! (works exactly like the Air Horn, but with a loud clap in place of air horn, and would function like a heavy weapon, meaning cool down- or what ever its called- would last appropiatly.)
+ Strength and Fitness can be trained Three times over the maximum!
+ Gain El Satan's body! So Swole! (Also A tad wider.)
- Shooting can't be trained at all.
- Low rolls for Wits, Attitude, Composure.
- Pittifully Slow. (Im not sure how fast Zombies are stat wise, but i imagine H*lk characters being as fast a Zombie in their 'Sprint" hobbles.)
Additioanlly i think it would be even cooler if one of the Combinations of Perks would turn the character's skin green.
