How many liters does it take to fill up a Land Cruiser's fuel tank?

The fuel tank capacity of the Land Cruiser is 138 liters, as officially announced. The Land Cruiser requires 95-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 13.6-14.7L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 939-1015 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit. There is additional space from the safe limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.
I've been driving the Land Cruiser for several years, and every time I fill up, it takes about 93 liters. The fuel tank is really huge. For daily commutes, a full tank can last over a week, and it's even more convenient for weekend road trips. I remember being shocked the first time I filled up—it cost nearly 700 yuan, but compared to smaller cars, the range advantage is obvious. On highways, the average fuel consumption is 11-13 liters per 100 km, and a full tank can cover over 700 km, avoiding the hassle of frequent refueling. When refueling, I prefer going to the gas station in the morning when it's less crowded and using high-quality fuel to protect the engine. Planning routes for long trips can save money, such as using apps to find discounted stations or carrying a spare fuel can. The heavy body leads to higher fuel consumption, but proper maintenance can slightly reduce costs. The 93-liter design suits its off-road heritage—while daily use is a bit more expensive, it’s safe and reliable. One thing to note: don’t overfill to prevent spills, and regularly check the fuel system to prevent aging.
