fuel consumption

manual doesn't mention much on this; i know from playing that there's 64 total units of fuel, which relate to the actual 64,000 value or whateva it is, but how do shift/non-shift affect the consumption differently, and on what sort of multiplier is the vehicle consumption setting based?

and aren't you glad this post is much shorter than the needs one?

call that a question? pfft
I refuse to answer anything under 150 lines long.

oh alright then.

Fuel consumption is um, a bit shoddy really. Holding Shift increases fuel consumption by 50%.

um thassit.

Shoddy u see. :]

hows the base consumption work tho? is it just whatever's set in consumption is taken out of the total 64,000 divided by some time equasion?

sorry, i'll pad my short questions with empty bytes from now on. won't happen again.

yeh. um. basically.

fuels deducted every 1/5th of a second.

Its stored internally as a value thats in the range 0 to 66,560,000. (Woot a new number to play with! :] ) thats scaled down by 1,024,000 to get the 0 to 65 values u see in game.

eg..
A value of 10000 for fuel consumption would reduce a full tank to 63,560,000 in one minute of driving. ( 66,560,000 - (10000 x 5 x 60) )
Holding shift for that minute would increase consumption to 15000 and therefore the fuel level would drop to ( 66,560,000 - (15000 x 5 x 60) ) = 62,060,000

fascinating stuff :]
