How many kilometers can an eighth-generation Civic run on a full tank of gas?
2 Answers
An eighth-generation Civic can run 400-500 kilometers on a full tank of gas. Tank capacity: Generally, small cars have a fuel tank capacity of 35-45 liters, while mid-size cars have a fuel tank capacity of around 55-75 liters. After filling up the tank, most cars can run approximately 500 kilometers. The size of the fuel tank is related to the car's displacement—larger displacement engines with higher fuel consumption have bigger tanks, while smaller displacement engines with lower fuel consumption have smaller tanks. In China, the fuel tank capacity is regulated to be 95% of the rated value, but in reality, the actual capacity is usually larger than the nominal capacity, so there's no need to worry about the fuel tank being smaller than expected. Factors affecting fuel consumption: The driver's habits, road conditions, the weight of items placed in the car, whether the air conditioning is on, and whether the vehicle is in the break-in period are all factors that can affect fuel consumption.
I've been driving an 8th-generation Civic for several years. The fuel tank capacity is around 50 liters, with an average fuel consumption of about 8 liters per 100 kilometers in the city, which can drop below 7 liters on the highway. So, a full tank can take you 600 to 700 kilometers, which is pretty worry-free. However, it's important to note that actual mileage is affected by many factors. For example, stop-and-go traffic can cause fuel consumption to skyrocket, and heavy use of air conditioning also consumes more fuel. I often go on long-distance trips and find that maintaining a steady speed between 90 to 100 kilometers per hour is the most economical. Don't forget to change the engine oil regularly and check the tire pressure, as these help the car run more efficiently. If you're just driving around the city, a full tank might only get you 550 kilometers, so plan your refueling time wisely to avoid running out of gas on the road.
