1 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the 2012 Highlander is 72 liters, as officially announced. Owners of the 2012 Highlander can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The 2012 Highlander requires 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 9.9 to 12.1L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 595 to 727 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel gauge accurately reflects the fuel level. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is recommended to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to a safe level, leaving some space from the safe level to the tank opening. This extra space ensures that the fuel can expand safely when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening, the actual refueling amount may exceed the marked tank capacity.
