What is the fuel tank capacity of the Golf 8?
1 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the 8th generation Golf is 50L, as officially announced. The Golf 8 requires 95-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 5.3-6.7L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 746-943km. During daily driving, it is necessary 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, and it is advisable 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 marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety level, and there is additional space from the safety level to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
