What is the fuel tank capacity of the Accord in liters?
2 Answers
The Accord currently has 9 models on sale. Among them, all versions of the 260TURBO have a fuel tank capacity of 56L, while all versions of the Sharp Hybrid 2.0L have a fuel tank capacity of 48.5L. This data is officially released, and Accord owners can also check it on their vehicle's configuration sheet. The recommended fuel grade for the Accord is 92 octane, 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 inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge on the dashboard typically has 5 to 6 segments. It is advisable to refuel when there are about 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. 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.
The Accord, as a classic sedan, typically has a fuel tank capacity of around 56 liters. Having driven an Accord for several years myself, I have a deep appreciation for it—when the tank is full, it can cover over 700 kilometers on the highway, thanks to Honda's efficient engine design. In daily driving, such as commuting between the city and suburbs, a full tank can last a week without needing a refill. I find knowing the fuel tank size very helpful for budget management, like choosing gas stations in advance to save money. When refueling, it's advisable to opt for premium fuel to avoid sediment buildup. Additionally, regular checks of the fuel tank system and sealing cap to ensure no leaks can extend the vehicle's lifespan. Overall, the 56-liter design is quite reasonable, offering both economy and practicality.
