So what is most affordable way to power all the lighting gear on the set (outside location) How much would I get out of Car's 12V battery with AC-DC convertor, I know it can output upto 220V but how many Watts? No idea..lol So what do you guerilla pros are using?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

A generator that you can rent from a local tool rental house will do. Do not use inverters with more than 300 watts for any period of time or there is a good chance your car will burn a beautiful orange glow. It takes far more amps to power an inverter on 500 watts than your car makes and using one for such an application IS DANGEROUS!!!!!!!!!
 
Are you shooting at night or do you have HMI's ?

Best to get a generator, problem is they're LOUD!
