What is the fuel tank capacity of the Enclave?

The fuel tank capacity of the Enclave is 83 liters, as officially announced. The Enclave requires 95-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 12.7-13.1L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 633-653 kilometers. 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 reflected 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 manufacturer's specified tank capacity 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 extra space is designed to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
I remember the Buick Enclave has a fuel tank capacity of about 83 liters, roughly 22 gallons. I often drive this car on long trips myself, and the advantage of a large fuel tank is its impressive range. With a full tank, it can cover over 700 kilometers on the highway, but in city traffic with congestion, fuel consumption increases, possibly limiting the range to around 500 kilometers. When choosing an SUV like this, the size of the fuel tank directly impacts travel convenience. For example, compared to the Toyota Highlander, which has a smaller tank, the Enclave is more worry-free for long journeys. It's advisable not to wait until the fuel light comes on to refuel, as running on a very low fuel level might damage the fuel pump. During regular maintenance, cleaning the fuel tank opening can also extend the vehicle's lifespan. Anyway, with such a large vehicle, having a bigger fuel tank saves a lot of hassle.
The Enclave has a fuel tank capacity of around 83 liters, which I find quite worthwhile for my daily commute. Although fuel consumption depends on road conditions, it averages about 15 liters per 100 kilometers in the city and drops to around 10 liters on the highway. A full tank can easily cover 550 kilometers. This is much larger than some compact cars, reducing refueling frequency and saving time. Driving habits also affect range—sudden braking or aggressive acceleration will increase fuel consumption. I recommend checking the fuel system monthly and keeping the tank at least half full for safety. Even with rising fuel prices, fewer trips to the gas station make it more economical overall.
