GTA 6 Cars Run on Fuel, and Filling Up Takes About 10 Seconds
For the first time in the series, you have to keep an eye on the tank. TGG saw how refuelling works at Rockstar North, and Rob Nelson already expects the debate.
What it changes in the game
Vehicles burn fuel as you drive, so a long chase in a stolen car can end with an empty tank. Press preview [1]
A fill-up at a gas station takes around 10 seconds. The same stop can repair the car or recharge an electric one. Press preview [1]
Nelson on the timing: "Hey, that's pretty fast for a fill-up. You can't complain about that." Press preview [1]
Still unknown: What fuel costs, and how far a full tank goes.
