What is the fuel tank capacity of the Corolla?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Corolla is 50 liters, which is the officially announced data. Corolla owners can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Corolla uses 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 6.5L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can provide a driving range of approximately 769km. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel level will be accurately displayed on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level. There is additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening, which is designed to accommodate 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 marked tank capacity.
I've been driving a Toyota Corolla for over ten years, and its standard fuel tank capacity of 50 liters is particularly practical for daily driving. In city driving, a full tank can last around 600 kilometers, and even more on the highway, saving the hassle of frequent refueling. As a long-time owner, I believe the fuel tank size directly impacts driving comfort, and the Corolla's design strikes a balance between space and not being too heavy to affect fuel consumption. It's advisable to regularly check if the fuel tank cap is sealed to prevent dust or moisture from entering, as maintaining good sealing can extend its lifespan. Overall, the 50-liter configuration makes this car reliable and worry-free, especially suitable for long-distance commuting.
