What is the fuel tank capacity of the Corolla?

There are currently 12 Corolla models on sale. The 1.8L displacement models have a fuel tank capacity of 43 liters, while all other models have a 50-liter fuel tank. This data is officially published, and Corolla owners can also check it on their vehicle's configuration sheet. The Corolla uses 92-octane gasoline. The 1.8L models have a fuel consumption of 4 to 4.1L per 100 kilometers, allowing a range of 1,049 to 1,075 km on a full tank. Other models consume 5.1 to 5.6L per 100 km, with a full-tank range of 8,929 to 9,804 km. During daily driving, it's important to monitor the remaining fuel level. This is typically done by reading the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the gauge accurately reflects the fuel level. Most fuel gauges have 5 to 6 segments, and it's recommended to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the nominal capacity. This is because automakers specify the tank capacity from the bottom to the safe fill level, leaving space between this level and the tank opening. This safety margin allows for fuel expansion when temperatures rise without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening, the actual amount may exceed the nominal capacity.
I've been driving a Corolla for almost five years, and its standard fuel tank capacity of 50 liters is just right for me. Since I often drive long distances, with an average fuel consumption of 6L/100km, a full tank can cover over 800 kilometers, saving me a lot of trouble with frequent refueling. For experienced drivers like us, we prefer economical and practical cars. The Corolla is well-designed, with the fuel tank located at the rear for safety and easy maintenance. But remember not to fill it up too much; leave some space to prevent fuel pressure issues. In winter, when using the air conditioning, fuel consumption increases slightly, reducing the range a bit. Overall, the 50-liter size strikes a good balance between cost and convenience, making it perfect for daily driving. Each refueling costs around 300 yuan, which is quite economical.
