Fuel (stylized in all uppercase as FUEL) is an open world racing video game developed by Asobo Studio and published by Codemasters. The game was released in 2009 in North America on June 2 and Europe on June 5 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and July 5 for Windows. It is set in a post-apocalyptic United States after the Sun scorched the Earth with a completely free-to-roam open world approximately 5560 square miles (14400 km2) in size which is roughly the size of the U.S. state of Connecticut. In the free roaming mode the game features the ability to drive anywhere in the game world without incurring loading times; however crashing a vehicle – or invoking the reset function to return to the road – does invoke a loading screen.
