None of the houses, NONE, are in danger of running out of fuel. If the general people have some kinda difficulty (including the concept of NPCs here too) in keeping an infrastructure going to ensure a house gets the fuel GMG always steps in to make some arrangements with a group or two. I can think of 3 ways Bretonnia is getting fuel. First we allow RepEx to work as distributors and they haul to Bretonnia, second was Convoy whom we helped arrange routes so that they in RP can buy fuel directly at cost for the BAF since in general the fuel prices are high through a middle man, third is the always Vanilla method Bretonna acquires their fuel though Liberty corps as middle men.
Unless Gallia removes the GMG, makes H-fuel obsolete and gets everyone addicted to oil.

Actually, you guys have an active contract with Bowex) to haul at least 50k of Fuel a month. We've been doing that consistently for the last... three/four months, I think? :P
In any case, we supposedly won LD-14 back during that stupidly one-sided event about killing NPCs. It's just a matter of the base not being transferred back to the BAF, because doing that takes time that could have been better used elsewhere.
So we've got H Fuel coming in, (a moderate amount of) MOX stored, and access to LD-14 again (supposedly).

That'd pretty much ruin the GMG's day.
"Promethene" to be exact, which is a blend of Hydrogen2-rich hydrocarbons (Deuterium infused oil) and Prometheum. That's what Gallic ships run on. They use the larger hydrocarbon chains in oil to more efficiently store the amount of H2 used in fusion. Burning oil with oxygen for propulsion would be rather ridiculous. But seeing that this fuel is incompatible with existing H-Fuel reactors and engines, I doubt the GMG will be out of a job anytime soon.

Also, Liberty wouldn't sell H-fuel to Bretonia. It has fuel issues of it's own. Of course, fuel could go through Liberty into Bretonia without stopping, but it wouldn't be sold with Liberty as the middle-man.
