Gas Station Simulator 'Economy Update' Brings Significant Changes to Gas Pricing and More

The highly anticipated Economy Update for Gas Station Simulator is now available on PC. This patch brought new stuff that aims to improve realism, particularly the financial aspect of the game.

Before anything, Gas Station Simulator is a game developed by DRAGO Entertainment that provides you with a glimpse of what it feels like to run your very own gas station. This new patch encourages you to look at data and statistics so that you can make informed financial decisions.

Gas Pricing and Deliveries

The goal of a business is to maximize earnings and reduce losses as much as possible. That said, the Economy Update for Gas Station Simulator introduces a new feature that allows you to see the current market trend. Make sure to look at the recent gas prices so that you will know when to have fuel delivered to your station. It is wise to order fuel when its price is low and hold off when the price is high.

Speaking of deliveries, this patch also added a flat delivery fee of $25 whenever you have ordered something that only has a total amount of less than $150.

Now, if you've made bad financial decisions, you do have the option of taking out loans. This part of the game has been expanded with new loan amounts. Here is a rundown:

$100 - $200 (8 minutes to pay back)
$250 - $450 (12 minutes to pay back)
$500 - $800 (16 minutes to pay back)
$1000 - $1400 (24 minutes to pay back)
$2000 - $2500 (36 minutes to pay back)

New Widgets

Gas Station Simulator's Economy Update added a couple of useful widgets as well. The Storehouse Inventory Widget aims to address player concerns regarding inventory management. This handy new widget tells you the exact quantity of items you have and how much space is left for new stock.

To aid you in making better financial decisions, there is the new Financial Overview Widget. This provides you with information about your overall revenue, operating costs, and how much loan you have taken out, among many others.
