What is the fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes-Benz E260?

The fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes-Benz E260 is 66 liters, as officially announced by the manufacturer. Owners who have purchased the Mercedes-Benz E260 can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The recommended fuel grade for the Mercedes-Benz E260 is 95 octane, with a fuel consumption of 7.7 to 7.8 liters per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel can cover a distance of 846 to 857 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically 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. There is additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening, which is designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
I remember checking the fuel tank parameters when I drove my friend's Mercedes-Benz E260 on a long-distance trip recently. The official data shows a 66-liter capacity, which is quite reasonable for a luxury sedan. With 95-octane fuel, I can drive over 700 kilometers on the highway and around 500 kilometers in the city. Although the tank is slightly smaller than some Japanese cars, the 9AT transmission and 48V mild hybrid system really help with fuel efficiency. Last time when I traveled to Qinghai Lake with my friend, there were few gas stations along the way, but a full tank lasted until we reached our destination with some to spare. It's advisable not to wait until the fuel light comes on to refuel; keeping at least a quarter tank is better for the fuel pump.
