What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2019 Buick Regal?
2 Answers
The 2019 Buick Regal comes in two models with different engine types. The model equipped with a 1.5T engine has a fuel tank capacity of 55L, while the model with a 2.0T engine has a fuel tank capacity of 62L. This data is officially released, and owners of the 2019 Buick Regal can also check it on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The 2019 Buick Regal has two models with different engine displacements. The model with the 1.5T engine uses 92-octane fuel, has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 6.3L per 100km, and can travel 873km on a full tank. The model with the 2.0T engine has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 7.4L per 100km and can travel 837km on a full tank. During daily driving, it is important to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is usually done by observing 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, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel 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 safety limit. There is additional space from the safety 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 marked capacity. Other factors that affect fuel consumption include: Vehicle weight: There is a direct correlation between vehicle weight and fuel consumption. A 10% reduction in weight can lead to a corresponding reduction in fuel consumption. Vehicle aerodynamics: A lower drag coefficient results in significantly lower fuel consumption, while a higher drag coefficient increases fuel consumption proportionally. Tire pressure: Low tire pressure increases friction and adhesion, leading to higher fuel consumption. Driving habits: Aggressive acceleration, frequent braking, and rapid starts can significantly increase fuel consumption. Wind direction: Driving with a tailwind reduces fuel consumption, while driving against a headwind increases engine workload and fuel consumption. Road conditions: Driving on flat roads results in lower fuel consumption, while driving on rough or steep roads increases fuel consumption. Additional electronic devices: Using extra devices like the air conditioning while driving increases the rate of fuel consumption.
I remember the 2019 Buick Regal has a fuel tank capacity of around 70 liters, equivalent to 18.5 gallons, which is quite large. It gives me peace of mind when driving on highways during weekends, as a full tank can last 500-600 kilometers without worrying about running out of fuel midway. Before every long trip, I always check the fuel level. Thanks to its large tank and fuel-efficient performance, I don't have to worry too much about wasting fuel even with the air conditioning and music on while driving on highways. However, during daily city commutes, especially in heavy traffic, a large tank might make you forget to refuel. Once I was careless and almost ran out of gas, so I recommend setting up a fuel reminder app—it's simple and easy to use. The advantage of a large fuel tank is extended range, but it's also important to regularly maintain the fuel cap to prevent evaporation loss. This is practical advice for all car owners.
