What is the fuel tank capacity of the BAIC Huansu S6?

The fuel tank capacity of the BAIC Huansu S6 is 60 liters, as officially announced. The BAIC Huansu S6 uses 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 7.7-7.8L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 769-779 kilometers. During daily driving, it is important 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 other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments. 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 manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for 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 specified tank capacity.
I remember when driving the BAIC Huansu S6, the fuel tank capacity was 60 liters, a parameter I checked when buying the car. As an ordinary office worker, I drive to work every day with an average fuel consumption of about 9 liters per 100 kilometers, and a full tank can run about 650 kilometers. Last month, I also took it on a mountain trip, from Beijing to Chengde and back, without even using half a tank, which was quite worry-free. For urban commuting, a full tank easily lasts me two weeks, so I don't have to visit gas stations often. However, in hot weather, the fuel tank sometimes expands due to heat, so I never fill it completely, leaving some space. Occasionally checking if the fuel cap is sealed properly keeps dust out and makes it more durable. Although fuel consumption calculation is simple, it varies greatly depending on road conditions—dropping to 7 liters on highways but rising above 10 liters in traffic jams, affecting the range, so planning trips in advance is essential.
