There's oil we can steal on Mars?

No, but it's far enough away we should be able to hide from the
terrorists there.

Use solar energy to make hydrogen (and oxygen!) from the permafrost,
use the hydrogen to make fuel from the carbon-dioxide atmosphere, and
if it is necessary for some purposes to burn stuff for mobile energy
instead of using electricity, it will be possible on Mars.

However, carrying liquid oxygen around is as awkward as carrying
hydrogen around, so I don't think they'll be driving SUVs on Mars.
