Currently, there are 9 Malibu XL models on sale. The 535T version has a fuel tank capacity of 55L, while other versions have a 60L capacity. This data is released by the manufacturer, and Malibu XL owners can also check it on their vehicle's configuration sheet. The Malibu XL 535T version uses 92-octane fuel, while other series use 95-octane. The fuel consumption ranges from 6.3 to 6.7L per 100km, allowing a full tank to cover approximately 873 to 896km. During daily driving, it's important to monitor the remaining fuel level. This is typically done via the fuel gauge in the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the gauge accurately reflects the fuel level. Most fuel gauges have 5-6 segments, and it's 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 nominal capacity. This occurs because manufacturers specify tank capacity from the bottom to the safe fill level, leaving space between this level and the tank opening. This space accommodates fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening, the actual refueled amount may exceed the nominal capacity.

I'm new to cars and have driven the Malibu XL a few times. Its fuel tank capacity is around 59 liters, which is quite practical. Based on my daily driving habits, with an average city fuel consumption of about 8 liters per 100 kilometers, a full tank can last over 700 kilometers, so I don't need to visit the gas station every week. It's even more fuel-efficient on long highway trips, with a highway fuel consumption of around 6 liters per 100 kilometers, extending the range to over 800 kilometers, making it ideal for those who frequently travel long distances. Remember to refuel when the fuel level drops to a quarter to protect the fuel pump in the tank. Compared to its counterpart, the Honda Accord, which has a smaller 56-liter tank, the Malibu XL is more considerate in this aspect. Regular 92-octane gasoline is sufficient for daily use, and occasionally adding a cleaner can help keep the engine running smoothly.
