What is the fuel tank capacity of the hybrid Odyssey in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the hybrid Odyssey is 50 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the hybrid Odyssey can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The hybrid Odyssey uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 6.75L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can provide a driving range of approximately 740km. During daily driving, it is important 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 recommended to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. 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 safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This extra space is designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing 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 done quite a bit of research on hybrid vehicles. The fuel tank capacity of the hybrid Odyssey is typically around 55 liters. This is slightly smaller than the fuel tank of the conventional gasoline-powered Odyssey, but the hybrid system, through the coordination of the electric motor and the engine, significantly improves fuel efficiency. In city driving, the vehicle primarily relies on electric power, with the engine only kicking in during high-speed driving or when the battery charge is low. Therefore, 55 liters of fuel is sufficient to cover a total range of over 800 kilometers. The design takes into account the space occupied by the battery pack, optimizing the fuel tank to be compact and efficient. For daily use, it's recommended to regularly check the coordination between the fuel system and the electrical system, such as avoiding prolonged use in low-battery mode to extend battery life, ensuring that fuel efficiency remains optimal. When refueling, standard 92-octane gasoline is sufficient, which is both cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
