Roadblocks in Zim are fine. Police are polite. We didn't have insurance for our 4x4 until we got to Harare where we got a comesa yellow card for about a dozen african countries for $2.00US a bargin. Once we had it we got asked for insurance-strange how stuff works.
As far as fuel goes we got it from farmers in the countryside for about $1US a litre. Many people to help you find some. At the time(Feb 05) it was very hard to get sugar and cooking oil in Zim so we took some along for exchange. Ended up just giving it away.
Nice thing about Zim is it seems like you have the entire place to yourself as a tourist.
Good luck
