The fuel tank capacity of the 2016 Jetta is 55 liters, as officially announced. Owners of the 2016 Jetta can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The 2016 Jetta requires 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 6.6L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of approximately 833km. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the car. Under normal circumstances, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, and there is additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening. This extra space 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 added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
I remember the 2016 Volkswagen Jetta has a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters. After driving this car for several years, I found this size is particularly suitable for city commuting. A full tank can run over 600 kilometers, saving me from frequent gas station visits every week. The average fuel consumption is about 8 liters per 100 kilometers, and the range would be even higher on highways. It is recommended to develop a habit of regularly checking whether the fuel cap is tightened to prevent evaporation and leakage. Also, avoid water accumulation in the fuel tank during winter and don’t overfill it to the point of spilling in summer for safety reasons. I usually like to use software to record fuel consumption and analyze driving habits to maintain efficiency, which has saved me a lot on fuel costs.
