In the Entropia Universe, there are several types of vehicles, including cars, boats, spaceships, helicopters, and hover-bikes. To fuel a car, you need oil. You can either go mining to get crude oil, which you then refine into oil, or you can simply buy refined oil at an auction. Once you have the oil, you need to spawn your vehicle by double-clicking the vehicle icon, right-clicking the icon and selecting Place, or dragging the icon out of your inventory to the ground. Then, you can fuel the vehicle by dragging and dropping the oil from your inventory into the spawned vehicle.

What You'll Learn
Cars in Entropia Universe use oil as fuel
In the Entropia Universe, cars are one of the many vehicles available, alongside boats, spaceships, helicopters, and hover-bikes. All of these vehicles, except for spaceships, require oil and repairs to function.
It is important to note that spaceships have different fuel requirements. In addition to oil and repairs, spaceships need a Space Thruster (L) for interplanetary travel. The Space Thruster enables spaceships to leave a planet's atmosphere, travel through space, and enter the atmosphere of another planet.
The use of oil as fuel in cars aligns with the theme of exploration and exploitation of alien worlds in Entropia Universe. Players must strategically manage their resources, including fuel, as they navigate and interact within this virtual universe.
By utilising oil as a fuel source, the cars in Entropia Universe reflect a dependency on this valuable resource, mirroring real-world energy systems and adding a layer of realism to the gameplay experience.

You can either mine for crude oil or buy refined oil at auction
To fuel your car in the Entropia Universe, you need oil. There are two ways to obtain oil: through mining or through auctions.
Mining for Crude Oil:
You can choose to mine for crude oil, which involves extracting the resource from the ground. Once you have acquired crude oil through mining, you will need to refine it into oil before using it in your car. This option requires more time and effort but can be a cost-effective method to obtain fuel.
Buying Refined Oil at Auction:
Alternatively, you can opt for purchasing already refined oil at auctions held within the Entropia Universe. This option offers convenience as it saves you the time and effort of mining and refining the crude oil yourself. However, buying refined oil at auctions may come at a higher cost compared to mining your own crude oil.
It is worth noting that the Entropia Universe features various types of vehicles, including cars, boats, spaceships, helicopters, and hover-bikes. While all these vehicles require oil and repairs, spaceships have an additional requirement of a Space Thruster (L) for interplanetary travel. The Space Thruster incurs a decay of 0.10 PED with each use and is essential for leaving and re-entering a planet's atmosphere.
To refuel your car, simply drag and drop the refined oil from your inventory into the spawned vehicle. This action can be easily performed using the command buttons available in the actions library.

To fuel your car, drag and drop the refined oil from your inventory
To fuel your car in Entropia Universe, you will need to use oil. You can either go mining to obtain crude oil, which you can then refine into oil, or you can simply purchase oil at an auction. Once you have the oil, you will need to spawn your vehicle. To do this, open your inventory by pressing the "I" key and find the vehicle you wish to use. Double-click the vehicle icon, right-click and select "Place", or drag the icon from your inventory to the ground, ensuring that you place it on a flat surface. A green placing icon will indicate suitable terrain.
Once your vehicle is spawned, you can then proceed to fuel it. To do this, drag and drop the refined oil from your inventory into the spawned vehicle. A refuel dialogue will be displayed if the vehicle is not already fuelled. You will receive a message once the vehicle has been fuelled. After fuelling, you can enter the vehicle by pressing "F" or by double-clicking on it. All vehicles in Entropia Universe are controlled using the keyboard.
It is important to note that cars are not the only vehicles that require fuel in Entropia Universe. Other vehicles such as boats, helicopters, and hovercraft also require oil as their primary fuel source. Spaceships, on the other hand, require additional equipment, such as a Space Thruster, to enable space travel.
In addition to fuelling your car, you may also want to customise its appearance. This can be done by adding colour and texture, similar to the process of customising garments or furniture. Furthermore, you can grant access to your car to friends. To do this, right-click on the spawned vehicle and find "Open Vehicle Guest UI". Then, open your friends list and drag your friend's name into the guest list. You can set permissions for each friend, allowing them to take the gunner seat, driver seat, or neither.

A refuel dialogue will appear if the car has no fuel
To fuel your car in Entropia Universe, you must first spawn the vehicle. You can do this by opening your inventory with the "I" key, finding your vehicle, and then double-clicking the vehicle icon, right-clicking the icon and selecting "Place", or dragging the icon out of the inventory to the ground. Make sure to place the vehicle on a flat surface—a green placing icon will indicate a suitable surface.
Once your car has been spawned, a refuel dialogue will appear if the car has no fuel. To add fuel, simply drag Refined Oil from your inventory into the refuel vehicle dialogue. You will then receive a message confirming that the vehicle has been fuelled. After this, you can enter the vehicle by pressing "F" or by double-clicking on it.
It is important to note that all vehicles in Entropia Universe, except for spaceships, only need oil and repairs. Spaceships require an additional Space Thruster (L) for interplanetary travel. To equip a thruster to your spaceship, drag and drop the thruster onto the unspawned spaceship in your inventory.

You can also allow a friend access to the car
To fuel your car in the Entropia Universe, you need to use refined oil. First, spawn your vehicle, and a refuel dialogue will be displayed if the car has no fuel. Then, drag the refined oil from your inventory and drop it into the refuel vehicle dialogue. You will then receive a message confirming that the vehicle has been fuelled.
It is important to note that you need to step out of the vehicle to access the vehicle inventory. To do this, right-click on the vehicle and press "Open Vehicle Inventory". You can then drag and drop the items you want to store from your inventory to the vehicle inventory.
You can also customise the appearance of your vehicle by adding colour and textures. This is done in the same way as colouring a garment or furniture. For more information on customisation, see Crafting - Customisation. Additionally, keep in mind that your vehicle will take damage from creatures and other players in PvP zones.
