I'm actually expecting this to be somewhat controversial here. :D
Anyway it seems pretty much every other server on Argonath has implemented a fuel system and it looks like it works for them. That's not really a reason for adding it to VC:MP, but it provides some context for the idea.
Advantages
- Adds another type of interaction with vehicles that makes Pay 'n' Sprays more useful
- Discourages nonstop vehicle pursuits
- Gasoline is probably going to be added for the bomb system anyway
Disadvantages
- If adjusted poorly, we either might as well not have fuel or players will be driving to a PnS every minute to refuel
- Vice City may be too small to actually warrant a fuel system
-
In the past I've been against this idea because of the lack of vehicles. Now with 0.4 allowing us to have a lot more state cars I would maybe consider it more.

Why not add the ability to make molotovs while you're at it.
-
I approve fuel to be added.
And I think that due to the locations of the fuel station and the pay and sprays in Vice City, the issue of "map too small" isn't that much of a concern.

And this is a very nice addition to it.

I don't see why not.

How long could you approximately drive at full speed with a car when it has full tank?
This is a good idea, but if the vehicles run out of fuel too fast, it just hinders the gameplay unnecessarily :(
As for making molotovs, that sounds like a cool idea :D

I'm sure most people will receive this idea well if they see that it's not going to be a frustrating system that constantly forces refuels.
Would be a good way of setting up a business for certain gas stations/petrol pumps.
There are some parts of Vice Port that are less used; maybe around some of the freight containers or trucker parks an extra gas station could be added, offering a good business and some more regular RP around that region.
This could be shifted even closer to Escobar International - perhaps some fuel for airport vehicles that you can go and 'borrow'.
Pay N Sprays could sell jerry cans with small amounts of fuel so that they don't become too good at everything. : P

If the petrol station in Washington Beach was the only place to fuel up, it'd actually be worth owning. Too many businesses offering the same thing and the worth of owning them becomes less. Look at ammunations, just because there are only three of them the demand to own one is extremely high as they bring in the big bucks.

Considering the small size of the city, I'll rather destroy a car to respawn it rather than pay for fuel. :rolleyes:

That's what a cop would do, yes.
But when a criminal is being chased by like 5 cop cars you just do not let your car explode and enter a new one without any damage being dealt.

It would make some insane chases. Imagine if a criminal passes through the Washington petrol station and, if the fuel tanks were lethal, police could try exploding them to take out the suspect. But of course, if other civilians are around then that's gonna be a major problem. : D

They already are lethal, I've killed several criminals with them as a cop in the past, and vice versa, going back all the way to 2008 :D
