Gas Tank Size
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 |
Re: Gas Tank Size
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 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. |
