100% readiness is the max. essentially, at 50% readiness you have to complete a large amount of side quests and asset gathering in sp to get the "best" ending. at 100% readiness you dont have to work as hard in sp.
Toward the end of the game at least, the functional fuel depots seem to mostly be concentrated in the lower left-hand corner of the Galaxy Map. In the following image, systems with fuel depots accessible directly from Mass Relays are circled in green (six total):
As you may already know, most systems will also contain fuel depot wreckage sites that you can scan for, for a one-time fuel bonus. However, if you're just looking to quickly top off your tank, visiting one of the above-circled systems is the way to go.
In particular, I believe Annos Basin (to the left of the selection cursor on the map) is available to the player for most of the game, and is never marked as being Reaper controlled.

Best Answer
Readiness is managed via the Galaxy at War system and I'll go into the specific ways to earn readiness below:
Single Player
War Assets are the part of Galaxy at War you collect in Single Player. Simply purchase War Assets with in game money to earn varying amounts of readiness, rated by Military Strength. The wiki pages list the Military Strength of the various war assets. Some assets require certain conditions to be earned.
War Assets are not Readiness, but instead their effect (Military Strength) is multiplied by Readiness.
Multiplayer
Playing Multiplayer earns you various rewards that increase Galactic Readiness, such as Promoting a character to level 20 or simply completing missions.
Failure (any mission of any level): 3% Readiness
Bronze Mission (success): 4% Readiness
Mass Effect: Infiltrator
This iOS game will help you increase Galactic Readiness if you link the games. From EA's press release, via Cult of Mac:
It's now available for Android as well: North America and everywhere else.
Mass Effect Datapad
Datapad is a free iOS app that will allow you to monitor your Galactic Readiness and a minigame which will allow you to slowly increase it. From the Galactic Readiness map you can send select 3 different mission points within each sector which can earn up to a 1% readiness boost for that sector only. It takes anywhere from 1 hour to 6 hours to earn a point. You can increase this by getting various power-ups based on points earned playing.
