ARRANCADA Gear Ratios & Fuel Guide

Compare gearbox and fuel changes

Read the current game values before confirming purchases or changing a setup.

1. 01

   Record the complete baseline

   The developer confirms adjustable gearbox ratios and three fuel choices: gasoline, ethanol and methanol. It also confirms manual and automatic transmission.

   Success check

   You have saved baseline runs and recorded the car, transmission mode and current setup.

   If it remains unclear

   Before changing a ratio, record the car, engine and turbo stage, fuel, transmission mode and current ratio values. Save a screenshot of your own settings so the original configuration can be restored.
2. 02

   Use the pass to choose the next test

   Observe where the car struggles. Note whether it hits the RPM limit before the finish, loses acceleration after a shift or spends too long shifting. Keep the start procedure consistent.

   Success check

   Your run notes identify the gear, RPM behaviour and part of the strip where the problem occurs.

   If it remains unclear

   Those symptoms help choose an experiment, but they do not identify a guaranteed ratio. The available evidence does not establish the game’s complete gear model, permitted ranges or a fastest setup for each car.
3. 03

   Check the live fuel options and costs

   Read the fuel choice and any displayed requirements in your current workshop. Gasoline, ethanol and methanol are confirmed options in the official description.

   Success check

   The current menu clearly identifies the selected fuel and any displayed requirements.

   If it remains unclear

   Compare one fuel at a time while keeping other settings fixed. No verified fuel power multiplier, refill schedule or universal best fuel is published here. Do not assume real-world fuel behavior supplies the game’s balancing values.
4. 04

   Keep a small comparison log

   For each setup, save at least several valid passes and note reaction, total time and any obvious shift mistake. Compare repeatable runs rather than a single unusually good start.

   Success check

   Your notes separate each setup and include several valid results under comparable conditions.

   If it remains unclear

   If results are mixed, restore the baseline and repeat the comparison. A setup copied from an upgraded Opala SS may not transfer to a different model, stage or control device.
