The fuel tank capacity of the Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet-3.0T, Carrera-3.0T, Carrera-S-3.0T, and Carrera S Cabriolet-3.0T is 64 liters, while other versions have a fuel tank capacity of 67 liters. This data is officially published, and owners of the Porsche 911 can also check it on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The recommended fuel grade for the Porsche 911 is 95 octane. The Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet-3.0T, Carrera-3.0T, Carrera-S-3.0T, and Carrera S Cabriolet-3.0T can travel up to 719 km on a full tank of fuel. Other versions of the Porsche 911 have a fuel consumption of 8.9L per 100 km and can travel up to 753 km on a full tank. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is usually done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. 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 midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, with additional space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing the tank. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.
