The fuel tank capacity of the Lexus ES200 is 60 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the Lexus ES200 can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Lexus ES200 requires 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 7.75L per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel allows for a driving range of approximately 774km. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically observed through 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 mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer measures from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, leaving some space between the safe fill level and 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 calibrated tank capacity.
I've been driving a Lexus ES200 for a while and have a good understanding of its fuel tank. Officially, the capacity is around 60 liters, and a full tank can generally take you over 700 kilometers, depending on road conditions and driving habits. If you maintain a steady speed on the highway, fuel consumption is lower, but in city traffic with frequent stops and starts, it might go up to 9 liters per 100 kilometers. The size of the fuel tank is quite important, especially for long-distance trips—unlike smaller cars that require frequent stops at gas stations, the ES200 is quite hassle-free in this regard. When refueling, avoid overfilling to prevent spillage, and always keep the fuel cap sealed to prevent dust from entering and affecting the fuel pump. During regular maintenance, it's also advisable to check the fuel system to prevent aging or leaks. Overall, the ES200 is designed very practically, with a fuel tank size that balances space and efficiency.
