What is the fuel tank capacity of the Mazda6?

The 2015 Mazda6 2.0L Automatic Elite Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 64L. It is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed automatic transmission (AT). The drivetrain is front-engine, front-wheel drive. The front suspension features a double-wishbone independent suspension with a stabilizer bar, while the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension with a stabilizer bar. In the same class, the 2021 Superb TSI280 DSG Standard Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 68.5L, and the 2021 Mazda6 Atenza 2.0L Sky Fashion Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 56.2L. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the nominal capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer 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 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 nominal capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle is close to E, it indicates low fuel, and when it is near F, it means the tank is full.
The Mazda Ruiyi has a 64-liter fuel tank. I've been commuting to work for many years, and a full tank can last me 500 to 600 kilometers. It's more fuel-efficient on highways, with a range exceeding 650 kilometers. In the city with frequent traffic jams, the fuel consumption is higher, and a full tank usually runs out after about 500 kilometers. I make it a habit to refuel every Sunday and use a fuel gauge app to remind myself, avoiding running out of gas midway. The Ruiyi's fuel tank size is quite reasonable—not the largest in its class but sufficient, designed to save space without affecting trunk capacity. My driving experience tells me that fuel tank size directly impacts travel convenience; a larger tank means fewer refueling stops on long trips, which is a big relief. For maintenance, I regularly check the fuel level to prevent the fuel pump from running dry and burning out. Overall, the 64-liter tank is more than enough for daily commutes and occasional trips.
