How many kilometers can a Focus run on a full tank of gas?
2 Answers
Focus can run 500-600 kilometers on a full tank of gas. Here is some extended information: 1. Fuel tank capacity: Fuel tank capacity (L) refers to the size of the fuel tank, which measures a car's ability to carry fuel. The fuel tank capacity determines the driving range. For two cars with identical engines, the larger the fuel tank, the farther the car can run. 2. Precautions: When the fuel tank is filled to the brim, overflow often occurs. While the vehicle is in motion, fuel may spill out from the tank opening due to shaking. This spilled fuel can spread everywhere, entering the car through the air vents, causing a persistent gasoline smell inside. Not only is this a waste of fuel, but the odor also poses a health risk to the passengers.
Having driven a Focus for over a decade, I've found how far a full tank gets you really depends on driving style and road conditions. In city traffic with frequent stops, fuel consumption rises to around 8L/100km - the 55L tank's warning light comes on after ~650km. On highway weekends maintaining steady speed, it drops to 5.5L/100km, easily covering 900+ km per fill. AC in summer adds ~1L/100km, while winter warm-up cycles reduce range. Keeping tires at manufacturer-recommended pressure saves fuel. Frequent short trips without proper warm-up waste gas idling. Overall, 700km per tank is typical, with good habits adding 100km bonus range.
