Vehicle Fuel & Repair Readiness
Assess a car, boat or helicopter using your fuel confidence, observed repair state, storage, spare supplies, destination risk and a concrete recovery plan—without an invented fuel-rate equation.
Change any control and the result updates immediately.
NOT READY
Blockers
- No recovery plan is confirmed
Exact reasons
- Fuel confidence is only moderate
- Repair state is only moderate
- Storage readiness is only moderate
- Spare supplies are only moderate
- Destination risk is moderate
- No recovery plan is confirmed
Readiness compares your fuel confidence, repair state, storage, supplies, destination risk and recovery plan without estimating travel range or usage.

How this tool decides
- Validate each confidence or readiness observation on a 1–5 scale.
- Invert destination risk so a more dangerous objective reduces the normalized score.
- Treat critically low fuel confidence, critical repair state or no recovery plan as NOT READY blockers.
- Return READY or CAUTION for remaining scores while listing every observed gap.
What it does not assume
- No distance, tank size, spawn location or fuel-consumption rate is calculated.
- Selecting car, boat or helicopter changes context, not an invented hidden formula.
- The checklist cannot inspect actual inventory, vehicle condition or world hazards.
Frequently asked questions
How much fuel do I need?
This tool does not invent a consumption formula. Enter your confidence after checking the actual vehicle, route and return options in your current game.
Why is a recovery plan required?
Vehicles support long-distance movement and storage, so a failed return can strand both the player and supplies. The checklist makes that decision explicit.
Does it work for helicopters and boats?
Yes. It supports cars, boats and helicopters using the same observation-based readiness principles without claiming undocumented performance values.
