Does Earth have enough fuel to become a solar empire?

If humanity decided right now that they wanted to become a space empire and colonize the entire solar system would they be able to do it? One of the biggest problems with theoretically colonizing Mars is lack of funding and lack of fuel. Assuming that all of Earth, suddenly and universally, agreed to focus solely on colonizing the solar system (this includes Mars, all moons, all Lagrange points and ships to defend it all), would the Earth have enough fuel to accomplish this?

For clarification I am asking if all the fuel on Earth is enough to travel around an empire the size of the solar system.
