What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2011 Buick Excelle?
2 Answers
The 2011 Buick Excelle has a total of 4 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, and all models come with either a 4-speed automatic or a 5-speed manual transmission. All models feature front-engine, front-wheel-drive configuration. The 2013 and 2015 Buick Excelle models also have a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters. Starting from the 2018 model year, the fuel tank capacity of the Buick Excelle was reduced, with the 2018 and 2020 models having a 40-liter tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with 'E' and 'F'. When the needle is close to 'E', it indicates low fuel, and when it is near 'F', it means the tank is nearly full.
I drove a 2011 Buick Excelle last year, and I remember its fuel tank capacity was around 60 liters, which is quite large. With one fill-up, it could last a long time. During daily commutes in traffic, the fuel consumption was about 10 liters per 100 kilometers, while on highways it was even more fuel-efficient, dropping to 7 liters. A full tank could easily cover over 600 kilometers, saving the hassle of frequent refueling. Compared to my friend's Volkswagen Sagitar, the Excelle had a longer range, making it very suitable for long trips. For regular maintenance, I recommend checking the fuel system for cleanliness to avoid impurities and carbon buildup that could affect fuel efficiency, ensuring the car remains durable and economical. Overall, such a large fuel tank brings a lot of convenience to driving.
