How many liters of fuel can a Jetta VS5 hold?
2 Answers
Jetta VS5 can hold 51 liters of fuel, with a 10% reserve volume in actual usage. Fuel tank capacity: The fuel tank capacity measures a vehicle's ability to carry fuel, determining its driving range. For two cars with identical engines, the one with a larger fuel tank can travel farther. The actual fuel tank capacity is greater than the nominal capacity. According to fuel safety regulations, the national standard stipulates that the nominal capacity of a vehicle's fuel tank is 95% of its rated capacity. Therefore, when refueling to full, it can hold 10% more fuel than the nominal capacity. Fuel tank precautions: While a large fuel tank capacity is beneficial, the most fundamental aspect is mastering fuel-saving techniques in daily driving. Under the premise of ensuring safety, avoiding aggressive driving actions such as sudden acceleration and hard braking can significantly reduce fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Jetta VS5 for over a year now. The car has a standard fuel tank capacity of 51 liters, and a full tank usually gets me around 650 kilometers. For daily city commuting, the fuel consumption is about 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers, while on highways it's more economical, around 6 liters. A full refill costs me over 300 yuan, and with current higher fuel prices, I usually wait until the tank is down to about 1/4 before filling up. Remember not to overfill the tank until it overflows; just stop when the nozzle clicks off, as overfilling can damage the fuel pump. For long trips, I always fill up in advance to avoid the hassle of looking for gas stations along the way. Additionally, the Jetta VS5's fuel tank design is quite smart, with good sealing that reduces gasoline evaporation waste and keeps the fuel fresh. Overall, the 51-liter capacity is just right—not too small to require frequent refills, nor too large to waste space—making it very economical and practical.
