A few other juicy things in the "neighborhood."

The refineries for said oil? Another over HERE.
Notably large container yards HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE
New imported car transit yards HERE and HERE?
This one is a hike, but the one of the Defense fuel stockpiles underground here?


(Oh, and hello to you too Dave! Wherever you are.)
I don't see the recon team going for any petrol products or cars. Anything they want at Irwin is going to have to be airlifted and transporting fuel by air is almost counterproductive as you'd burn up almost as much fuel that you'd be able to carry.

That said I think anything that they were looking for needs to fit on a CH-47. Maybe info from the USCG base at Long Beach? Or maybe Irwin is making a move to take out the Mallers and/or the Colony.

My official thoughts are that they were looking for other survivors while looking for signs of the Mallers and avenues of approach on the colony
