How many kilometers can a tenth-generation Civic run on a full tank of gas?

The Honda Civic can generally travel about 600 kilometers on a full tank of gas under combined driving conditions, and approximately 800 kilometers on highways. The Civic's fuel tank has a capacity of 50 liters, with urban fuel consumption typically ranging between 8 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers. In fact, Honda's automatic transmission is more fuel-efficient than the manual version, especially in urban areas. The fuel warning light on the Civic's dashboard illuminates when the fuel level drops below 10 liters, usually around 8 liters. Therefore, with a full tank and decent driving skills, the car can typically cover about 460 to 510 kilometers before the light comes on. Additionally, newly purchased cars tend to have higher fuel consumption initially.
I've been driving the 10th-generation Civic for over a year now, with the 1.5T automatic transmission version, which has a fuel tank capacity of about 47 liters. My daily commute in the city is quite congested, and the fuel consumption typically ranges from 7.5 to 8.5L per 100 kilometers, meaning a full tank can last between 550 to 650 kilometers. However, things improve significantly when I hit the highway on weekends, with fuel consumption dropping to 5.5 to 6L per 100 kilometers, allowing a full tank to easily cover 700 to 800 kilometers. Honestly, driving habits play a crucial role; I tend to drive more steadily, avoiding sudden braking and acceleration, which can add dozens of kilometers to the range. Using the air conditioning does consume more fuel, so the range is slightly shorter in summer. From an economic perspective, regular maintenance like changing the air filter and checking tire pressure helps maintain a stable range of over 600km, which is quite cost-effective.
I'm the kind of young person who loves to delve into cars, and I'm quite familiar with the fuel consumption of the 10th-gen Civic. Official data states that the 1.5T model has a combined fuel consumption of about 6.5L per 100km, with a 47-liter fuel tank, theoretically capable of running over 720km. But reality isn't that ideal. During city commuting, with constant stop-and-go, fuel consumption can rise to over 7.5L, giving a range of 600 to 650km per tank. On the highway at a steady speed, fuel efficiency optimizes to around 5L, potentially exceeding 750km. I recommend paying attention to tire pressure and oil quality; low tire pressure increases rolling resistance, wasting more fuel. Overall, it's a bit more fuel-efficient than cars in the same class—like my friend's Volkswagen Lamando, which runs dozens of kilometers less per tank. Don't overlook the small details when driving this car; the range can vary significantly.
