What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2013 Buick Excelle in liters?
2 Answers
2013 Buick Excelle has a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters, which is the officially announced data. The 2013 Buick Excelle uses 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 6.6 to 7.6L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 789 to 909 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level at all times. Generally, the fuel level is observed through the fuel gauge in the car. 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. It is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. In actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is still some space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is reserved to allow the fuel to expand when the temperature rises without overflowing. If the fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.
I've been driving a 2013 Excelle for five years with a 60-liter fuel tank. It costs around 400 yuan to fill up with 92-octane gasoline each time. This capacity is considered large among cars in the same class. My daily commute is 30 kilometers, and a full tank can last nearly half a month. For refueling tips, it's recommended to fill up when the fuel gauge shows a quarter left to avoid overheating the fuel pump; don't insist on rounding up the amount after the pump automatically stops, as overfilling not only wastes fuel but may also damage the carbon canister system. The 60-liter tank is very convenient for long trips—last time I drove 600 kilometers back to my hometown without stopping at a gas station. A reminder: don't fill the tank too full in summer, as the thermal expansion of gasoline may cause it to overflow from the vent, wasting money.
