Fuel is a production resource which can be used as fuel or be exported for cash.

Background

A fuel is any material that can be made to react with other substances so that it releases energy as thermal energy or to be used for work. The concept was originally applied solely to those materials capable of releasing chemical energy but has since also been applied to other sources of heat energy, such as nuclear energy (via nuclear fission and nuclear fusion).

Gameplay

Fuel is a resource available after refining oil in an oil refinery. Oil is pumped from the ground with help of a pumpjack and refined in an oil refinery, with leaving the availble resources fuel and bitumen.

Fuel is an end product and can be sent to a Gas Station or a Train Diesel Station, or it can be sent to export.
