Mad Max meets Zombies in Canada

Been playing for weeks and still dont get it. The most effective strategy seems to be avoiding battles to gather resources that you use to upgrade vehicles that you only use in forced battles? The battles are fun, but you dont gain much from winning. You do the missions by driving around, run out of gas, then wait 2 hrs to be refilled. I enjoy the battles, im still upgrading and playing, but whats the ultimate goal?
