Gas Tank Size

Discussion in 'General Motoring' started by Blair Simister, Aug 27, 2003.

  1. I have a 2003 Accord EXL.

    When the gas gauge hits the E mark I fill the car and it takes about 52
    liters (13.7) gallons. This is after driving with the gas warning light on
    for about 30-40 miles.

    The books says the tank is 65 liters (17.1 gallons). I think only taking
    this much fuel that I have a gauge reading problem. Any other 2003 accord
    owners know how much their car takes when the gauge is on E. I would like to
    use more of the fuel if it goes to 65L (17.1 GAL)

    Thanks in advance

    simple math

    From your E-mark it takes 13.7 gallons.
    The book says the tank holds 17.1 gallons

    17.1 - 13.7 = 3.4 gallons
    65L-52L = 13L

    13L @ 70 cents = around $9 ish I have a civic 5spd and I know I can go a
    long way on $9 of fuel (250KM @ Hwy speeds) If I had an auto and a couple
    extra cylinders I assume my range would be a lot less.

    You could always try and run it dry and fill it up then. Make sure you
    have a full small gas can and hopefully near a gas station.

    I saw the Low Fuel warning light on my '03 Accord 4cyl for the first
    time this past weekend and my experience was comparable to yours. I
    don't know how far I drove after the light first came on, but when I
    filled it up it took 14.3 US gallons.
