What is the fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes-Benz E260 in liters?
1 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes-Benz E260L 2.0L model is 66 liters, as officially announced. Owners of the Mercedes-Benz E260L 2.0L can also verify this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Mercedes-Benz E260L 2.0L model requires 95-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 7.45L/100km. A full tank can cover a distance of approximately 885 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential 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 gauge accurately reflects the fuel level. 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 may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening, the actual refueling amount may exceed the marked capacity. Other factors affecting fuel consumption include: Vehicle weight: There is a direct correlation between vehicle weight and fuel consumption. A 10% reduction in weight can lead to a corresponding decrease in fuel consumption. Vehicle aerodynamics: A lower drag coefficient results in significantly reduced fuel consumption, while a higher drag coefficient increases fuel usage proportionally. Tire pressure: Low tire pressure increases friction and adhesion, leading to higher fuel consumption. Driving habits: Aggressive acceleration and frequent braking can noticeably increase fuel consumption. Wind direction: Driving with a tailwind reduces fuel consumption, while headwinds require more engine power, increasing fuel usage. Road conditions: Fuel consumption is lower on flat roads and higher on uneven or steep terrains. Additional electronic devices: Using extra equipment like air conditioning while driving can increase fuel consumption.
