What is the fuel tank size of the Mazda 3 1.5?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Mazda 3 1.5 is 50 liters. It measures 4662mm in length, 1797mm in width, 1445mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2726mm. The maximum horsepower is 117ps, the maximum power is 86kw, the torque is 148nm, and it features a 6-speed manual naturally aspirated engine. In the same class, the 2021 Geely Xingrui 2.0TD Elite model has a fuel tank capacity of 50L, while the 2022 Honda Civic 180TURBO CVT Dynamic Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 47L. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by car manufacturers 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 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 marked tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard, which is marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the pointer is near E, it indicates that the fuel is almost empty, and when it is close to F, it means the fuel level is sufficient.
My Mazda 3 1.5 has a fuel tank capacity of 44 liters. I usually drive this car for my daily commute, and a full tank can last about 650 to 700 kilometers, with an average fuel consumption of around 6.5 liters per 100 kilometers. On the highway, driving steadily can further reduce fuel consumption. The tank size allows me to refuel only once every two weeks, saving a lot of time and hassle. When driving, paying attention to slow acceleration, avoiding unnecessary throttle inputs, and maintaining proper tire pressure can add dozens of extra kilometers. If the tank were smaller, frequent trips to the gas station would disrupt my daily routine. Overall, this fuel tank configuration is quite suitable for urban commuting—it’s both cost-effective and convenient, and even occasional weekend trips to the suburbs don’t leave me worrying about running out of fuel halfway.
