GTA VI Might Add Fuel Mechanics — Finally, a Game Where You Can Forget to Top Off and Regret Everything

GTA VI May Introduce Fuel System — Refueling Mid-Chase Could Be a Thing

Fast and Flammable

According to the rumor mill (which runs better than half the cars in GTA), Grand Theft Auto VI may be adding a fuel system. Yes, instead of just jacking a car and driving forever like an immortal petrol god, you’ll need to stop and refuel.

I repeat: you may need to refuel. In a video game. In GTA.

How It Might Work

Let’s paint a picture:

• You’re 5 stars deep.

• Helicopter above, roadblocks ahead.

• You hit the gas pedal… and the engine coughs like a 90-year-old smoker.

• You're out of fuel.

• Now you’re frantically looking for a gas station, or a Prius.

• 
  

It’s like Need for Speed meets Mafia 2 meets absolute panic.

What It Means for You, the Upstanding Criminal

• Planning matters. Grab a car? Check the fuel.

• Heists may require fuel prep. Imagine arguing with your getaway driver:“YOU HAD ONE JOB, KEVIN. ONE JOB.”

• Refueling mid-escape might lead to legendary fails. Or wins. Or explosions. Probably all three.

And just imagine multiplayer:“Bro, cover me while I fill up this muscle car with premium unleaded.”“Wait, which side is the tank on?”Boom.

My Take

Look, I love chaos. I love speed. I love games that let me drive a tank through a golf course while singing Johnny Cash. But stopping to refuel during a gunfight? That’s not GTA — that’s Tuesday in Swindon.

Still, if Rockstar makes it work, this could be genius. Stressful, hilarious, totally unnecessary genius.
