Overview

 

A more detailed Fuel Consumption script has made its way to GTA World. For years we used a simple system which made every vehicle consume the same kind of fuel and have the same size of fuel tank.

With this fuel update we have made a difference in a couple of things:

 

- Fuel tank capacity: Each vehicle has its own fuel tank capacity. Most vehicles will have 45L (11.89gallons), smaller cars will have 30L, Bikes 10L. In total there will be vehicles ranging between 10-30-45-60-100-250 Liters. Electric vehicles will all have a battery of 100kWh.


Fuel type: In total there will be five type of fuels. Gasoline, Diesel, Kerosine, Hybrid and Electric. Most vehicles are Gasoline, trucks and heavy engine vehicles are running on Diesel. Electric vehicles will run on electricity and hybrid cars will have less consumption due to their dual engines. Hybrids will run on Gasoline.
 

- Fuel consumption: Since GTAV is a game and we have no way to actually measure the pressure you put on your gas pedal we have decided to work with three consumption valuables. Maximum Acceleration, Normal Acceleration and Maintaining Speed. This means if you speed your vehicle from 0 - 60 in a few seconds it will most likely be seen as maximum acceleration. If you accelerate just a little it will be seen as normal acceleration. And if you maintain your speed you will have a static consumption. So the 'cleaner' you drive the more fuel you will save! If you always race your vehicle over the roads it will most likely drain your fuel in no time.
Note: Engine, transmission and turbo upgrades make your consumption become higher than stock vehicles.


Electric Chargers: Since we now can no longer 'refill' our vehicles with liquid we need a new place where we can 'refill' our electric vehicles. You will see various Electric Chargers around the map (see photo above), where you pay a public usage fee (between $15-$30) and a price per kWh.

Electric Home Chargers: You no longer wish to look around for an available public Electric Charger? Good news, the hardware store sells a "Home EV Charger" for $30.000 which allows you to charge your vehicle at your own house. It will charge 5x slower than it does on public Electric Chargers and it will be 50% cheaper than public usage.

 

Fuel canisters: Ran out of fuel or going for a long trip? Make sure to bring a spare few gallons of fuel with you! Visit the 24/7 store for your fuel canister.


Daily prices: Every day the Gasoline, Diesel and kWh prices are different and randomly decided (between a margin per type to maintain realism). So each day you have a chance to refuel cheaper than the day before!

 

State Electric Vehicle Contribution: The insurance prices for Electric Vehicles have been lowered by a few percentages.
