What is the fuel tank capacity of the 8th-generation Civic?

The fuel tank capacity of the 8th-generation Civic is 47 liters, as officially announced. Owners of the 8th-generation Civic can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The 8th-generation Civic requires 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 5.0 to 6.4L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 734 to 940 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. 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 midway. 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 safety limit. There is additional space between the safety limit and the tank opening, designed to accommodate 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.
I've always been curious about the fuel tank size of the 8th-generation Civic, and after driving it for several years, I found out it's 50 liters. This capacity, combined with its fuel-efficient nature—around 8 liters per 100 km in the city and about 6 liters on the highway—allows it to travel over 600 kilometers, which is very practical. Especially on long trips, a full tank can last half a day, reducing the frequency of refueling. I recommend owners check the fuel level sensor to prevent false readings and avoid getting stranded. The tank material is durable, with few leakage issues, but regular cleaning of the fuel system can extend its lifespan and improve fuel efficiency. These small tips have made my driving experience more worry-free and saved me money and hassle.
