What is the fuel tank capacity of the Mazda6?

The fuel tank capacity of the Mazda6 is 64 liters, as officially announced. The Mazda6 uses 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 7.8 to 8.2L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can provide a driving range of 760 to 820 kilometers. 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 displayed on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. 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 safe fill level, and there is additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening. This space is designed to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the marked tank capacity.
As a long-time Mazda6 owner, I find its 62-liter fuel tank design quite practical. For daily commutes, a full tank can last over 700 kilometers, with urban fuel consumption below 8L/100km – meaning I only need to refuel every two weeks, saving both money and hassle. I remember during my last long-distance trip, the large tank meant fewer gas station stops, giving me more time to enjoy the journey. Veteran drivers might notice the importance of tightening the fuel cap properly to prevent evaporation or dust entry. Regular maintenance, like occasionally cleaning around the fuel tank opening, can reduce fuel pump strain and extend overall lifespan.
