Fuel

[AndreasG]

Hi im just wondering since it’s not well explained in the game, witch setting uses the most fuel? Default or low?

hmm, what do you think? In my opinion it is pretty clear.

On normal the machines use quite realistic numbers. On low...well lower fuel consumption.

[AndreasG]

Yeah I guess so. But I have been a bit confused since it was the opposite in 17

I've often wondered about that. I can run a tractor for a whole day and use what about half a tank (real time, default)? Seems low to me but I don't actually know, just my guess.

I'm pretty sure 17 was the same settings. Default and low

[PrincessJessi84]

yea I hate the low fuel consumption in the game.. still waiting for a realistic fuel consumption mod (anyone know if its made it to fs19 yet?

[vondeylenfarms]

Why are people being mean about his question? I don't blame him in asking! I have switched to default and low and both hardly use any fuel so it's kinda deceiving.

[Ritchie]

It's the internet, people are set to mean by default

I have yet had to refuel anything in fs19. Feels pointless to have the thundercreek fuel trailer in the game.

Default uses more fuel

[Beastbubba]

Fuel usage on default isen't bad. The scale of the game just makes it feel that way. Look at your hrs used on something you think should need fuel, most heavy equipment has tanks large enough to run all day or more on a full tank...

[Deereslayer]

If they would switch the fuel usage with the maintenance it would be perfect. Don't know why it is so hard to figure out.
A big harvester will burn a tank of fuel in 12 to 15 hours, not 40 hours like the game is now. But I shouldn't need $1500 dollars of maintenance every 3 hours. Just head scratching.

It was in anticipation for the Oshkosh truck being brought to FS19

I miss that big green beast. It would be perfect with 4 Pacesetter Super B trailers behind it. 120,000L at a time.

I did notice some maps use low as default. Im not sure if it is affected by which mode you play in. A realistic fuel mod you think would be possible on consoles since some tractors use various forms of it. Maybe it would be too cluttered on the screen,im talking about 17 where it displayed in real time on screen.
