Dirt bike fuel consumption

[Yellowfrog]

I think dirt bike consumes more fuel than the cars. it doesn't have inventory room for gasoline canisters either. So you have to stop at every gas station you meet. I think it needs rebalancing.i am going to measure it. I will check how much I will pay for the same rout.

Hey there OP, yes the dirtbike uses more fuel than the car because it doesn't have the same capacity as the car.

I will measure how much I will pay for the way from my base to gas station. I will start full gasoline and check. I think it consumes more littres/km.i don't mean the smaller capacity.

Im not sure if i read it right but i think you can adjust the fuel consumption and prices in the server settings

i did the test drive.for the same route the laica consumed 10 litres of gasoline and the dirtbike 14 litres.
how i did it:i started with vehicle full ,did the route and then refuel from a full canister.laica took 10 litres dirtbike took 14.it needs rebalancing.it is not logic a small bike to consume more gas than a 4x4 vehicle.

Hmm since when did ' logic' feature in the game?

Less and less with every new update it seems...

Smaller tank so it goes faster, that being said it's soo much fun to drive. Do yourself a favor and go to the motocross track with it. I do wish we had hitch carriers for our cars that would be so awesome.

don't you understand what i am saying?it is not the smaller tank.the dirt bike consumed 14 litres and the laica 10 litres for the same kilometres.
i didn't make the post for argueing or negative comments.i made it so the devs check the consumptions and decide.

Well, I mean it is a dirt bike, it's not exactly built to conserve fuel.

But it should consume less i guess? Any dirt bike owner here? :D
If OP is correct with his test (i don't question it OP! :)), i think it's worth to look into again... :)

car = 2000 lbs
dirt bike = 250 - 300 lbs

car 4 cylinder engine = 4 spark plugs igniting gas
The car should always use more fuel than the bike.

We know that but fuel efficiency is just terrible(half a tank from my base to the trader) and both is in the same sector....

The dirtbike has a 2 stroke engine, which consumes a lot more fuel than a "normal" 4 stroke engine.

It's like that in real life too.

We will look into it.
