Fuel is a unique item needed to operate vehicles in FarmVille. Vehicles use 1 fuel unit for each plot they plow, harvest, or seed. A full tank of fuel is 150 units. If a Farmer does not own a vehicle, fuel cannot be placed into the farm's supply tank. When a farmer runs out of fuel, their vehicles cannot operate.
Each use of a Tractor, Harvester, Seeder or Combine requires fuel. Each task that the vehicle performs requires one fuel per plot. Therefore, a tractor, seeder, or harvester that has been upgraded to 4x4 will use up to 4 fuel each time it is used. However, a combine that has been upgraded to 4x4 will use up to 48 fuel each time it is used (3 tasks per plot = 3 fuel per plot).
One tank of fuel is represented as the orange gauge along side of the fuel icon. The level will change by 1/150th increments as fuel is consumed or added. Additional full tanks are shown as a +(number) value in the green area at the bottom of the icon. A single fuel tank is shared by all vehicles owned by a farmer.
More Fuel[]
The user can replenish his or her fuel in several ways.
Available[]
The following methods are currently available:
Crafting Buildings[]
You may buy goods from neighbor's Crafting Buildings, and trade goods in for fuel. Also, when you complete goods with your Crafting Building, you get to keep one for yourself, which can be traded for fuel.
The rule is 25 plots, +5 per level until the good's at level 20. Then, +4 per level up to level 40. Then, +3 per level up to Level 60. Then, +2 per level up to level 80. Then finally, +1 per level up to level 100. After that, it was +0 per level, meaning there are no more increases. Which makes for a maximum of 325 units of fuel for a level 100 good or higher (little over 2 tanks). In the past, the maximum fuel you can earn from a good used to be 525 units.
Example:
Level 1 gives 30 plots (1/5 tanks, a large tank is 150 plots)
Level 10 gives 30 (initial) + 5 (per level) * 9 (levels from 1 to 10) = 75 plots.
Level 20 gives 30 (initial) + 5 (per level) * 19 (levels from 1 to 20) = 125 plots.
Level 30 gives 30 (initial) + 5 (per level) * 19 (levels from 1 to 20) + 4(per level) * 10 levels = 165 plots.
- Note:
- Zynga significantly cut this rate in Spring 2013 to approximately half the rates shown above.[citation needed]

At Level 90, it was 315, and at level 100 and above, 325. From level 100 on, there is no gain other than being able to share one high level good with friends every gained level. All numbers have been verified.
Farmers can buy crafted goods from their neighbors and use it to get fuel. This is possible for all neighbors. From each neighbor can be bought 1 goods per day, from EACH YOUR FARM! Currently you can buy maximum 100 goods from your friends.
Regeneration[]
In place of the new fuel updates that let you find fuel on your farm/your friends' farms, Zynga has had to make changes to the way that tanks regenerate fuel. According to Zynga, "in order to balance out the new ways that we've added to find fuel, we've slowed down the rate at which fuel naturally regenerates. All farms will be able to regenerate a full tank of fuel over time, but now this rate is determined by how many plots of land you have on your farm. The more plots you have on your farm, the quicker your fuel regenerates. The quickest you'll be able to regenerate a full tank of fuel is 24 hours."
Farm Cash[]
The user can purchase fuel from the Market with 
FarmVille Cash.
Costs for Fuel[]
| Fuel | Cash | Cost Ratio |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3 | 3.00 |
| 15 | 15 | 1.00 |
| 30 | 28 | 0.93 |
| 45 | 40 | 0.89 |
| 75 | 50 | 0.67 |
From time to time Zynga offers a Fuel, in which case a message might appear telling the farmer about a promotion reducing the cost of fuel refills.
Instead of normal fuel costs, they can purchase the following:
| Fuel | Cash | Cost Ratio |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | 7 | 1.75 |
| 15 | 20 | 1.33 |
| 30 | 30 | 1.00 |
| 45 | 37 | 0.82 |
| 75 | 45 | 0.60 |
The discounted fuel prices have not recurred since the free fuel week event and may not be accurate for future promotions.
Zynga communication / tools[]
By using the FarmVille Toolbar, which gives 1/5 of a fuel refill (30 units) every 8 hours, or a large can depending on how many neighbors you have using the toolbar. (Such as 1 neighbor giving you a 25% chance, 5 neighbors giving 50%, etc.)
From an e-mail you receive from FarmVille.

Discontinued[]

1/5th tank gift[]
(Discontinued January 15, 2010) Fuel may be sent as a Gift in an allotment of a one-fifth tank (30 units). Gifted fuel may be sold from the gift pop up however its value is zero coins when sold (no matter what the amount is).
Fuel for coins[]
On April 27, 2010, it was announced that there would be a temporary promotion where a player (minimum level 20) can buy up to six tanks (900 units) of fuel a day for coins. These six are purchased as one tank (for 
10,000 coinss) and five tanks (for 50,000 coinss). The player will have this ability for a week (for a total of 42 tanks), but it must be unlocked by getting any medal in a co-op farming job. Additionally, the player earns extra tanks for playing on consecutive days, with the number of extra tanks corresponding to the number of days the player has come back and bought fuel. For instance, if you purchased fuel for 5 days in a row, you would get 1 extra tank on the 2nd day, 2 extra tanks on the 3rd day, 3 extra tanks on the 4th day, and 4 extra tanks on the 5th day. If you get this bonus fuel for all 7 days, you would earn an extra 21 tanks. If you get all of the bonus fuel and buy all of the fuel you can for coins, you would end up with a total of 63 extra tanks.
Fuel From Eggs[]
