Discover how to keep your car running smoothly in the snowy world of My Winter Car, where fuel management is key to completing jobs and surviving daily challenges. You'll rely on the PSK Peräportti station exclusively, as it's the only functional spot for refueling in the current game version.
Finding PSK Peräportti station
Head out from your home base in Prajarvi toward the National Route 70 highway exit.
The station sits right there as a key landmark, doubling as a job hub with snacks available. Park precisely next to pump 1—the only operational one—for easiest access.
Paying for fuel upfront
Approach the payment terminal before touching any pumps. Insert your bank card, select your budget (this caps your fuel amount), enter PIN, and retrieve the card. For cash, insert notes and hit "Aloita" (Start). Then pick your pump number (1 for most cases) to activate the 2-minute timer.
How to pump fuel step by step
Follow these detailed steps to refuel without wasting your payment or time.
Step 1
Walk to your parked car and open the fuel cap by interacting with it (right-click or E key).
Step 2
Return to the activated pump, pick up the green gasoline nozzle (not diesel unless needed).
Step 3
Position the nozzle at the open fuel cap; align the white aiming dot precisely on the tank rim.
Step 4
Hold down left mouse button (LMB) to start fueling; watch the gauge fill until your prepaid limit stops it automatically.
Step 5
Place the nozzle back on the pump stand, close the fuel cap securely, and drive off before the timer expires.
Fuel prices
| Fuel Type | Price Range | Used By | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gasoline | 4.0–8.0 | Sorbet starter car, most vehicles | Primary for early game; hold nozzle steady |
| Diesel | 3.0–7.0 | Project cars like Corris Rivett | Select correct nozzle color; check car manual |
Tips to avoid common refueling mistakes
- Always park at station 1; other pumps aren't ready yet.
- Don't drop the nozzle out of range during the 2-minute window, or restart payment.
- Monitor your fuel gauge on the dashboard to plan trips, especially for long jobs to Fleetari's Garage.
- Grab snacks at PSK while there to maintain stamina without extra trips.
Managing fuel for the long term
Track consumption during highway drives or towing; low fuel strands you in blizzards. Combine refuels with job pickups at PSK for efficiency. Upgrade your project car later for better mileage, but master basics now to progress.
Refueling becomes second nature once you nail the payment-to-pump flow, keeping your rides reliable amid Prajarvi's harsh winters. Practice at PSK Peräportti to fuel up confidently for bigger adventures.
