I thought the foundation of the series was that a nuclear war happened. Fuel isn't gone, it's just highly-prized and hard to distribute.
They actually address where it comes from in Fury Road, in typically-minimalist fashion: Guzzeline is produced in Gas Town, which is run by a guy with awesomely-freakish deformities called the People Eater for reasons we can probably infer. They engage in a triangle of trade with Immortan Joe for water and with the Bullet Farmer for ammo, and they seem to have some kind of treaty that lets them summon each others' forces to engage in personal disputes.
