What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2013 Buick LaCrosse?
2 Answers
2013 Buick LaCrosse has a fuel tank capacity of 70 liters, which is the officially announced data. The 2013 Buick LaCrosse 2.0T version requires 95-octane gasoline, while other versions use 92-octane. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers ranges from 7.2 to 9.9 liters, and a full tank can cover a distance of 707 to 972 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. The fuel level is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside 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. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety level, and there is still some space from the safety level to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow for fuel expansion when the temperature rises, preventing overflow. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.
The 2013 Buick LaCrosse's fuel tank capacity is quite interesting. I specifically checked the official manual, which states 70 liters. But I've encountered a little surprise during actual refueling - after the fuel light came on, the maximum amount I've filled was 73 liters, suggesting there might be some hidden reserve at the bottom. The tank is positioned under the rear seats, giving it a low center of gravity and making it less prone to scrapes. With an average fuel consumption of 10L/100km, it can cover over 700km on highways and around 500km in city driving. A refueling tip: don't wait until the tank is empty as it's bad for the fuel pump. While American cars tend to have higher fuel consumption, the 70-liter capacity is competitive in its class - enough to drive non-stop from Beijing to Qingdao's seaside for a stroll.
