What is the fuel tank capacity of the Accord?

The Accord currently has 9 models on sale. Among them, the 260TURBO versions have a fuel tank capacity of 56L, while the Sharp Hybrid 2.0L versions have a fuel tank capacity of 48.5L. This data is officially published, and Accord owners can also check it on their vehicle's configuration sheet. The Accord uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 6-6.5L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 861 to 933km. For the Sharp Hybrid 2.0L versions, the fuel consumption is 4.2-4.4L per 100 kilometers, and a full tank can cover a distance of 1102 to 1154km. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is usually observed through the fuel gauge in 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. Generally, when the fuel gauge shows 2 segments remaining, it's time to refuel to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated volume. 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 when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.
As a long-time Accord owner with 10 years of driving experience, I can tell you the fuel tank capacity is around 56 liters. This size is quite reasonable. Combined with the Accord's average fuel consumption of about 7L/100km, it can achieve over 800km of highway range, meaning weekly refueling suffices for daily commutes. Avoid overfilling to protect the fuel pump system. Differences between model years are minimal – both 2018 and 2022 versions maintain this capacity range. Remember to regularly inspect fuel lines to prevent dust clogging that may affect capacity performance. For long trips, this tank size reduces refueling stops, proving both convenient and practical.
I'm a young person who enjoys driving, and the Accord's fuel tank has a capacity of about 56 liters, allowing me to drive for several days on a full tank. In the city, the fuel consumption ranges between 7 to 8 liters, and it's even more efficient on long trips, so I don't have to worry about finding a gas station midway. When going out with friends, the Accord's larger fuel tank compared to smaller cars provides stable and convenient range, making daily commutes effortless. Choosing reliable gas stations when refueling can extend the range, just make sure not to let the tank get too low before filling up.
