: fuel?

As of earlier today, I could buy a 50g drum from the blk mrkt, and it would come full of fuel. So 60K for a full tank of fuel. Tonight they come empty.
So to get a full tank I either have to buy a new one, back in L.A. for 100k or spend the 100 gltr at a market price of 20k which equates to 2 mil.

What gives, why the sudden change and basic uselessness of blk mrkt fuel containers?

Containers on the blk market are either full or empty based on what condition they are in when the seller decides to sell it.

Damnit. If I'd have known they were coming full, I'd have been buying them and wheeling like crazy for the last month.

I rode the train for a while, but i dont think it was a glitch. the tanks are 100k brand new, and when your done you sell them off for 50k. I was just skipping the brand new part. But I'm ranked 35th in the driver stats now as a lowly lvl 7 with a sami

but the thing is saving the 50k to buy a barrel off the mrkt was worth it.
Honestly I think fuel needs to go to dollars, instead of glitter. even if it was expensive like 500-1000 bucks a gallon. Glitter has to much importance in this game to just dump a 100 of it to fill my tank.

X2 on this.

if i have a 50 gallon drum, it costs 100 glitter to fill it up. i can sell 100 glitter on the glitter market for about $4.5 million. then i can just go buy a 50 gallon drum from the shop in LA and it will already be full for 100,000.
i could get 40 FULL 50 gallon drums for the amount of glitter it costs to fill up one 50 gallon drum.

Ya, I'm 122 in driver stats and haven't been spending my glitter to do comps because it doesn't get me anywhere. I can't believe I missed out on such a cool bug.

Since taking advantage of game bugs can get you banned, time for a reset for those repeat offenders :flipoff2:

I agree on the refueling going to cash, it's too costly to spend 100 glitter to fill a tank. I've got wealth I can spend. :smokin:

Take away all their glitter and give it to me.

it wasn't really a bug, or a cheat. if you bought a tank from the store it came full, if you bought a tank from the mrkt it came full. Seem'd very normal to me.

I did what mcnought said, sept the problem lies in the fact that the store on keeps 3 tanks on hand.
