Mastering the Art of Fueling Your Winter Ride

In the immersive world of My Winter Car, refueling your vehicle is an essential task that players must navigate carefully. This guide offers a comprehensive look at the steps involved in successfully refueling your car within the game–a challenge for many due to the intricacies of the Finnish petrol pump and the need to manage fuel caps effectively.

As you embark on your journey, the first challenge is locating a gas station. Begin your quest by leaving your apartment, ensuring your car is defrosted and the engine is revved up. Proceed along the road, making a left turn at the four-way intersection. You will come across Pub Nappo on your right; continue further until you spot a prominent orange supermarket across the main road–this is the PSK store, where you will find fuel pumps available for use.

Before using the pump, it’s crucial to prepare your vehicle for refueling. Park close to the pump on the right side of your car, then exit the vehicle to open the fuel flap located on the rear right side. Unscrewing the fuel cap is the next step, which can be done by scrolling down with your mouse wheel. Make sure to perform this task before picking up the fuel nozzle, as you cannot handle both simultaneously.

Paying for fuel is a straightforward process once you’ve grasped the mechanics of the game. Players can choose to pay either by card or cash. If you’ve set up your card with a PIN at the ATM inside the supermarket, insert it into the pump, select the desired spending limit, and enter your four-digit PIN. The machine will guide you through the process of selecting which side of the pump you will use, allowing two minutes to fill up.

For those opting for cash payments, inserting a 100 MK bill into the machine is all that is required. After insertion, press the «ALOITA» button to start fueling. Be mindful of the possibility of receiving an error message («VIRHE») and be prepared to reinsert the bill if necessary. Using cash limits the maximum amount of fuel you can acquire, which makes card payments a more advantageous choice.

Once you have your payment sorted out, it’s time to fill the tank. Pick up the green nozzle–this is specifically for vehicles requiring petrol, as seen in the starter Sorbet car. Position the nozzle over the fuel filler neck and press down to activate the pump. Keep an eye on the display, monitoring both your fuel expenditure and how much petrol is dispensed.

After successfully refueling, don’t forget to secure the fuel cap back in place before exiting. A final reminder: if you set the nozzle down during the process, you will be unable to pick it back up, which forces you to start the whole refueling procedure again.

Understanding which type of fuel to use is equally important. The Sorbet car, for instance, utilizes petrol with the green nozzle marked «98». Other vehicles may require diesel, indicated by the black nozzle, while the red nozzle is reserved for industrial vehicles.

With this guide in hand, players can now approach the task of refueling in My Winter Car with confidence, ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable gaming experience.
