Lower the fuel consumption when a car is idling
« on: May 18, 2013, 03:06:56 PM »
What the title says, really. I left my car's engine on at about 90% fuel, came back about fifteen minutes later and it was down at about 20%. Cars already use fuel quickly (it's understandable because OCRP isn't all super realistic) but when a car uses up nearly its full tank while idling for a short period of time, it doesn't even make any sense.

Sorry.. But what are you complaining about? You left for 15 mins and only lost 70% gas. That isn't even much, seriously..

I've talked to Karma and asked him to give players a warning when they leave the car with the engine on.

I don't know what I'm complaining about, maybe the fact that around 450 odd litres of fuel gets used up in such a short space of time while the car isn't even moving. I mean, if I was driving some extremely fuel inefficient sports car it'd make sense, but the fuel gets burnt up a bit too quickly for an idling car IMO.

Im in agreement with lewis here. While its good that cars lose fuel, its how fast that they do that is slightly unrealistic.

The entire game is unrealistic. Just turn your vehicle off. Its made at the amount it is to encourage use of the system. You shouldn't keep your car running anyway.

Actualy the point of turning vehicle engines on and off primarily was to address the problem of criminals jumping in vehicles and driving off after being rammed out.

Yeah but when your a cop and your taking care a problems cops do not turn off there car..and the gas drops really fast for just sitting there...

From a full tank to rp out a chase then the arrest and rp it out all the way by the time you get in your car to transport someone the car about out of gas.

I'm with the OP here.

I could sit in a mini van IRL and listen to the music for about 2 hours and probably only burn a gallon.

OCRP != real life. Consumption will not be lowered.
