What is the fuel tank capacity of the Chevrolet Cavalier in liters?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Chevrolet Cavalier is 36 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the Chevrolet Cavalier can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The recommended fuel grade for the Chevrolet Cavalier is 92 octane, with a fuel consumption of 4.8 to 4.9 liters per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel can cover a distance of 735 to 750 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank at all times. The fuel level 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 typically 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 fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is additional space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel inside the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.
I've studied the Cruze's specifications sheet, and this car's fuel tank capacity is rated at 42 liters. This volume is above average among vehicles in its class, allowing for approximately 500 kilometers of daily commuting on a full tank. A reminder: don't overfill the tank after the pump automatically stops, as this can damage the carbon canister system. Another tip: when the fuel gauge warning light comes on, there are actually still 7-8 liters of fuel remaining in the tank – more than enough to drive to a gas station.
