  "account": "A car fueling mod has been incorporated into the author's version of GTA 5, making it more accurate to the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6. The mod, called Fumes – Animated Persistent Fuel, adds a realistic petrol tank mechanic to all vehicles, both in the base game and online modes. As the player drives, the fuel level depletes, and once empty, the car can no longer be used. Refuelling is done by walking to a gas pump and manually connecting the nozzle to the car's tank using a real physics rope. This mod was tested by commandeering a vehicle, teleporting to a petrol station, and successfully refuelling the car.",
