From my experience there's not much way to 'farm' resources in this game without advanced expeditions and subs cruising, both of which you'll probably have yet to unlock.

The best way then, is to sortie light fleets (i.e. DD/CL/CA) and avoid fielding heavy ships like BB/CV until 2-4. Do construction/development daily quests with minimal resources, ships obtained from sortie is usually good enough for early game. For the first few days, focus on completing quests to unlock additional fleets and free resources. As for expeditions, have one fleet focused on expedition 5 and the rest on new expeditions that you've yet to do, which will help you unlock more advanced expedition. Once you've unlocked expedition 21, focus on expedition 5 & 21 and your fuel crisis will be a thing of the past.

There's really not much you can do to boost your fuel count; your game will usually slow down once you're out of easy quests to replenish your resources. Just take it slowly and once you're comfortable, start sparkling your ships before sending them out for long expeditions (at least 1 hour+). You'll see quite a lot of difference after sparkling.
