The fuel tank capacity of the 2020 Bora is 50 liters, as officially announced. The 2020 Bora 280TSI version requires 95-octane gasoline, while other versions use 92-octane. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers ranges from 5.5 to 5.8 liters, allowing a full tank to cover a distance of 862 to 909 kilometers. 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 vehicle. If there are no issues, 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 calibrated capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, with additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This extra space ensures that the fuel can expand with rising temperatures without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.
I usually pay attention to the details of my car, like the 2020 Bora's fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, which is quite practical. In daily driving, this means that a full tank can easily cover 650 to 700 kilometers, especially for city commuting, which is more than sufficient. If driven more economically, the combined fuel consumption is around 7 liters per 100 kilometers, so the range is quite impressive. A reminder: the Bora's fuel tank is made of lightweight plastic, designed for safety to prevent leaks, so there's no need to worry on long trips. If the fuel warning light comes on, it's advisable not to push it and to find a gas station to refuel to avoid engine issues. Regular maintenance of the fuel tank ventilation system is also important to prevent the accumulation of impurities that could affect performance.
