Absolutely. You can easily create electricity on a remote mountain. Creating gasoline... that's not really possible. You have to pay a fortune for someone to deliver it (or worse, go get it yourself). You can't get gasoline delivered in bulk either - common ethanol blended gasoline can spoil in just two months and wherever you're buying it from might have already stored it for a month or more.
Gas prices in back country areas are often double or quadruple what people pay in the city and living there also means driving a lot more per week. Electricity on the other hand is practically free if you produce it yourself (small scale hydro for example can cost a couple thousand dollars for reliable continuous power and if you're in the mountains then you probably have that option).
