First, I wouldn't worry about fuel. Every town will have it year-round. Inside Yellowstone Old Faithful has it until Oct 9; Canyon Village until Oct 23 and the Mammoth area has it year-round.

Campgrounds in Yellowstone have various closing dates so check the park's web site with lot of good information. Fishing Bridge is the only one with hookups and it closes Sept 18, along with Grant campground (no hookups). Sept 26 others will close. Slough Creek closes Oct 7 and Mammoth campground is open year-round.
Move around within the park to 2-3 campgrounds to save fuel. The park is huge.
