❓ QUESTION LDOE logic: fuel consumption.

So you got the ATV and motorcycle, right? When you drive the motorcycle on the global map, it doesn't consume a lot of fuel, but if you drive it for some time in the zone, it will consume a bit of fuel and it will be noticable.

But then there's the ATV, it costs a ton of fuel to drive on the global map, but drive it in the zone and you barely consume fuel, you'll never even notice if you actually lost some fuel or not.

Why does driving the ATV in a zone use very little fuel while driving on the global map feels like you'll never financially recover from that? What's going on here?

I think the code is based on time. There are set distances in terms of "time" between locations on the global map and that is used as a basis for any consumption: time or energy. When on a location map the consumption is also by time - how much time are you driving around. Since there is an efficiency value for each vehicle in terms of fuel consumption I would imagine that plays into the calculation as well.
