Has anyone ever run out of fuel in a gv before ?
-
Nope, and until Hitech changes things, no one ever will. :)
They are nuclear powered.
-
as slow as they go and the distances they need to go. nope never ran out.
Q: how would you like to spend a couple hours driving to somewhere and run out, just behind a little hill, almost to where you were going?

Think about it ...
The least amount of gas you can take is 25%.
A sector is 25 miles square.
How many sectors would one have to drive to empty 25% fuel in whatever vehicle that you take ?
Who in hells bells would care to drive the distance, in a vehicle, to try an empty the fuel tank, considering the speed at which these vehicles travel.
I don't think there is anything wrong with the fuel consumption in the vehicles ... there just is no need or case to have to drive one far enough to run out of fuel.
I would rather stick sharp pencils in my eyes than try to prove/disprove this tho.

The last Con I attended, HT said flat out that GVs and PTs
do not burn fuel. The reasoning behind it is that they don't
use enough fuel to be a practical concern in the arena.
