What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2016 Skoda Octavia in liters?

The 2016 Skoda Octavia has a total of 9 models, with a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters. The vehicle is equipped with two types of engines: a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine and a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine. All models come with either a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission (DCT) or a 5-speed manual transmission (MT). All models feature a front-engine, front-wheel-drive configuration. In comparison to similar class vehicles, the 2022 Honda Civic has a fuel tank capacity of 47 liters, and the 2021 Geely Xingrui has a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel filled may exceed the nominal capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit. There is additional space from the safe 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 added may exceed the nominal tank 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 (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle is close to E, it indicates that the fuel level is low, while nearing F means the tank is sufficiently full.
I remember driving the Skoda Octavia 2016 model, which has a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters. It had decent fuel consumption control, averaging about 6 to 7 liters per 100 kilometers. A full tank could last around 800 kilometers, making it quite practical for long trips. When refueling, I prefer to fill up in the morning when the temperature is lower and the fuel density is higher, which can save some money. Also, it's better not to wait until the fuel light comes on before refueling to avoid potential fuel pump damage and costly repairs—these details are all mentioned in the manual. I've often thought about switching to a car with a larger fuel tank, but then again, this one is sufficient for my needs.
