Changing Fuel Level

I have a general question about gameplay...
Can you run out of fuel? Iv'e been playing this game and would like to know if I can lower the amount of fuel a car has in game. Could someone show/ tell me how to change it?
Thanks

 

Yes, we can!

To check your fuel status just type "L" once and look in the left corner, there you can see your current fuel!

Edited.

 

You dont remember the covet GTI economy challenges? The cars stop when out of fuel, I've done it.

 

Oh... as they still work without the fuel tank I thought fuel had no effect, I'll edit the post then.

P.S: No car has ever lasted me that long

easy, open your console, and type in

drivetrain.fuel = x (x being the amount of fuel you want your vehicle to have) and yes, when just driving around, you will lose fuel, takes a little bit though, but if you want to see it happen faster, change your fuel level to say, 0.10 and start driving, when it reaches 0, the engine will cut out, and your vehicle will just start rolling from the motion it already had, once it stops, it stays stopped, because it doesnt have fuel (you can set the fuel back to default as well, and the game will start the engine back up for you, or you could just reset)

 

WON'T WORK FOR ME!?!?!?!?!

 

first off, dat bump(but it's good that you searched, thank you for doing that), second off, you have to set the little drop-down menu in the bottom left corner of the console to BNGV THEN type the drivetrain.fuel = x (x being the amount of fuel you want it to have)

 

There is no drop-down menu from the bottom left corner. And typing drivetrain.fuel = #.## into the console does not do a thing.

 

Then your game is broken, because there IS a dropdown menu in bottom left corner of console

I got it now.

 

Unstable != missing features

Make sure your console is actually open. The tilde key (~) toggles it on/off.

Also, can a dev fix up that typo on the 11th line? "intializing vehicle"

 

This does not work in the new .8 version.. typing drivetrain.fuel=0.10 does absolutely nothing to the fuel

 

The above code does put fuel into the tank but the engine wont restart after you fill it when it has run dry

 

It's not working for me

EDIT: It does work just fine! Just set the console to the vehicle LUA! Although I can't get it started again when it runs out!

 

Is it possible to re-fuel at gas stations? How does one do that?
