Fuel on the Plow

The availability of fuel has been a big problem to tractor owners in Farmville but now it should get a little easier. Things are now different and you should be able to get fuel quicker and easier.

How you can now receive fuel.
  • As you plow - The fuel can now be shared with friends.
  • Fertilise your neighbours' farm
  • At level 12 and above
Once you are at level 12 you are eligible to receive fuel and you will now receive fuel from your neighbours' feed - up to 150 neighbours

Tractor and Fuel use
With the greater availability of fuel, owners of larger farms should find using the tractors a better option. These tractors are not fuel efficient but they are must faster than manual labour. Here is some details on fuel use.
  • Each Tank contains 150 units of fuel
  • 1 unit is used for 1 plot of land used
This means that a 12x12 plot will consume 144 units of fuel or close to 1 tank of fuel.

Use Wisely

The key to making the best of your tractor is to ensure your lots are arranged.
  • properly aligned - If they are not the use of the tractor is a waste
  • in 2x2 blocks i.e 4 plots. or 3x3 plots i.e 9 plots if you have the Hot Rod tractors
The tractor is able to plow, seed and harvest for 4 plots (2x2) or 9 plots (3x3) at a time. This can reducing plowing, seeding and planting time by as much as 75% to 89% compared to the manual way. One mouse click per plot versus four(4) or nine(9) depending on which tractor you are using.

Clearly Fuel sales could be a good source of revenue for Zynga. Fuel is available using Farmville Cash, paid for using your credit card or paypal, for between 3 -65 Farmville cash for 1 fuel tank to 50 fuel tanks.

If you are a Farmville Addict, the greater availability of Fuel will be welcomed.
