Such map Efendi made already exists, but I found it is impossible? to expose the one, for it based on copyright material Genertela Map. (At least, Greg didn't show positive answer to me.) We have sought good detailed map freely usable ever since.

I only translated his material, please give me some time for research.

Though James Frusetta thinks that petrolium exists in Glorantha, mainly trolls use it for drink. It has similar effect to alcohol for uz....Jamuz thinks.
See his wonderhome.

Greg has written many about "Little World" and "Landscape" magical entities with the history of development of Glorantha. Maybe matrialistic point of view something "powerspot" or gas stations is not his favorite idea for such magical places.
Efendi has another set of idea about Glorantha and might not think Magic is so important factor for his own.

In some Areas (well-)developed with mercantile economy in certain level,
farmers begin to grow [more profitable, cash crops] and (to) import food.
Manufactured products (derived from cash crops through various processes)
have more high price and uniqueness rather than (that derived from direct
harvest of field ), and (which) makes (the area (produces such processed
material)) (a) center of surrounding area.
It simply means selling manufactured material is more profitable than do same for raw material, excuse me for bad english.
