Fuel

Fuel is what makes your Kinetopede move. The rate at which it burn is dependent on your crew's graft and your current engine. The price at which fuel is sold often varies between location and is not available at all locations. The frugal captain may wish to plan accordingly.

Burning cargo
In addition to normal fuel it may be posable to burn other items as a fuel source depending on the captain's current engine. This can be a lifesaver if you find yourself short on fuel and, while not ideal, is less of a financial loss than simply discarding an item if you find you are suddenly over cargo capacity.
