Keep in mind too that a lot of places in the US didn't get hit by nukes - the only nuclear strikes in PA were near Philly - thats it - and thats per canon
Meaning any car in Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Scranton, York, etc.. is just fine - same with western and central NY - nothing
and a tactical nuke wont produce much of an EMP effect so outside of a very limited area around such a bomb anything electronic will be fine - including the ignition of a car

This post covers the fact that worrying about cars not working after an EMP event might be over stated.

Of course the game specifically says that EMP was worse than expected. So do with both of these elements what you will.
I still feel that having months to prepare from the first nuke use to Thanksgiving means that a lot of people would have made preparations.
