GTA 6: Gas or no gas – that is the question

[Redaktion]

For months, the GTA community has been debating whether Rockstar could introduce a fuel system in Grand Theft Auto VI, requiring vehicles to be refueled regularly. To many players, the idea initially sounds like unnecessary busywork. However, some fans believe a gasoline system could actually work quite well in GTA 6 – if Rockstar implements it cleverly.

Realism? How about having to use the restroom every couple of hours.....

[That would be funny]

Or having to shave (or not), eat, drink, sleep, pee, poop, using the right meds and if not.., getting deleted by one bullet; needing operations, healing after for weeks and staying in bed, taking anti-pain meds after certain operations (like I had take Piritramide irl (first I was like: 'will I need it?' then the pain started and I was like: 'oh sh*t..', so had to administer it. fortunately the situation didn't last too long and has cleared up long ago), .. (post more realism examples for fun)

Game hours pass much quicker (one in-game minute lasts two real-life seconds)..so one would have to pee in-game like every 10 minutes .. would be funny.

If they were to add fuel consumption, maybe also add maintenance to the vehicle. Tune ups for older beaten up vehicles to help reduce fuel consumption, regular oil changes and possibly new tires? It would also benefit their wallets, more shark cards being purchased for vehicle maintenance. There is a mechanic in gta5 but keep him for damage repairs but the players pay for operating costs. You would have to be more conscious of running from the cops, especially if you jack a car from the hood that's only got "E" nough fuel to get to a gas station. I'm definitely for more realistic more simulation. Gta 6, the last game you'll ever need to scratch every itch, if you stay away from the ladies of the night.

Isn't it a bit late to be doing gas in 2026 now?

Probably, should be doing EVs with charging infrastructure everywhere.

But then that would probably go against all the corporate incentive structures funding this game.

They'd have to put Chinese EVs since they make the best ones that charge in like 5 minutes. Can't be having that due to pushing propaganda reasons.

Dear god no, awful idea. Games are meant to be an escape from the drudgery, not to implement more of it in the search for "realism". This is just boring mundane nonsense that doesn't need to be in the game at all.

The GTARP community existing around GTAV has already proven that fuel systems, food and drink systems, and all other manner of realism can be used to great effect within the game. Rockstar baught the FiveM ecosystem and they are implementing their own modding system with ROME (Rockstar online Modding Engine).

Now the question is whether fuel would be implimented in base game or if it will need to be tacked on with mods. Years of RP prove that it can work is that kind of setting within the game but does it make sense in the story side? Thays up for interpretation
