[GTO]

Speak of EVs and "range" is always a part of the first sentence. With ICE cars though, people usually only discuss the FE. In fact, on Team-BHP itself, we recently had two wild discussions on:

- Guzzling Cars (Are you driving a fuel guzzler? Share your guzzler's FE numbers here)

&

- Miserly Cars (Are you driving a fuel sipper? Share your miser's fuel efficiency numbers here)



That being said, people don't discuss tank range as much. We should. Tank range is important because it dictates the frequency of your fuel pitstops. Longer tank ranges are a boon when touring long-distance for a variety of reasons = lesser fill-ups, convenience, you might want to wait for a trusty COCO fuel station or simply not want to stop in a shady isolated village. Tank range is super important if you are holidaying in a remote area, and when offroading.

Furthermore, there are many careful owners on Team-BHP who fill up their tanks when the fuel needle hits the 1/4 level (we don't wait for the fuel reserve light ). Hence, to us, the effective range is 75% of the available range.

So, what is your car's tank range? Request to please follow the below format:

Car & Engine: Thar Petrol AT (2.0L Petrol)
Fuel tank size: 57L
City tank range: 340 km, but I usually fill up at 275 km. That's just ridiculously short
Highway tank range: 400 - 440 odd km. Lesser if I drive really hard

--------------

Car & Engine: BMW 530d (3.0L Diesel)
Fuel tank size: 70L
City tank range: Approximately 450 - 490 km.
Highway tank range: 800 - 900 km. It's a 6-cylinder motor, yet very efficient on the open road, thanks to the super tall 8th gear and its aerodynamics. I've done Bombay - Goa with a 1/4 tank to spare.

EV owners, feel free to share your numbers in this thread too

Car: Audi A6 Diesel (35 TDI)
Fuel tank size: 75L
City tank range: 900 km, but I usually fill up at 800 km.
Highway tank range: 1100 odd km. Can go upto 1300 if driven sedately (19-20 kmpl)

--------------

Car: Honda City ivtech 3rd gen(1.5 L petrol)
Fuel tank size: 40L
City tank range: Approximately 280-300 km (8-9 kmpl)
Highway tank range: 380 km (9-10 kmpl)

Among manufacturers, Honda is very stingy with respect to fuel tank capacity. Seven seater like Mobilio/BRV has just 30 litres fuel tank while Honda City has a 40 litres tank.

Car - Hyundai Venue 1.5 Crdi 2020 model ( BS-6 Phase -1)
Fuel tank size 45 liters.
City range - 650 to 750 kms .
Highway range - Varies between 800 to 950 kms.
Hyundai diesel engines were always among the best in refinement and efficiency. The introduction of Bs-6 norms has blunt the performance a bit, but still, they do work as desired. There is wide variation in highway fuel efficiency as it solely depends on the way you drive. With a light foot, they can be superbly efficient and at the same time, a heavy foot surely brings a smile on face but literally kills of the efficiency.

Car & Engine: VW Petrol 1.2 MPi (the one I am driving currently)
Fuel tank size: 45 L
City tank range: 580–600 km; fill up at 220-250 km.
Highway tank range: 750–765 km at speeds under 100 km/h. If I maintain a speed at more than 100 km/h, the distance drops to 650–675 km.

Car - XUV 7OO Diesel (MX)
Fuel tank capacity - 60L
I generally refill when about 15-16L fuel is left in the tank. Following is the range I get before fuel fill ups.
60% highway + 40% city - Range is 850-900 km (18-19 kmpl)
100% highway - Range is 950-1000 km (21-22 kmpl)

The above figures are with the regular diesel. Previously, I used to drive WagonR CNG and that car required frequent visits to the fuel bunk. With my XUV, I usually visit the fuel bunk once in 20-25 days.

Car - BMW 330i
Fuel tank capacity - 60 litres
Drive below 80 KM/hr on the highway and range is 700 - 750 KMs

Thanks for the topic.

Car & Engine: Seltos, 1.5D, Manual.
Fuel tank size: 55L
City tank range: 900-950 km.
Highway tank range: 950-1000 km. Comes down to near city range if the drive is at > 100 km/h for significant time of the trip.

Have always felt tank range is important be it long trips of city commute. Aside the benefit of lesser fuel pitstops, I kind of feel at ease with the range it shows after full tank.

Normally I re-fuel at ~800 km.

Suzuki Ignis 1.2 Petrol MT:

Fuel Tank Capacity: 32 L
Real range in City: ~450 km
Real range on highways: ~550 km


Tata Tigor 1.2 Petrol AMT:


Fuel Tank Capacity: 35 L
Real range in City: ~ 420-450 kms
Real range on highways: ~550-580 kms

[ashis89]

Seltos D

Capacity: 50 litres(official)
60+ litres (when filled till the brim)

Range: 600-650 kms (city)
750-1000+ kms (highway)

The highway range can vary depending on how I drive and if I have filled till the brim.

WagonR 1.0

Capacity: 35 litres

Range: 400 kms (city)
500-550 kms (highway)

I am assuming 3-5 litres left in the tank before we refuel.

Will agree with Amaze, it’s just 35L and in city it’s under 250 km when driven hard (7.5–8 km/L).

Accord on the other hand has a good tank size at 70L, highways I can easily cover almost a 1000km before it runs out, obviously I fill at 750-800km when about 25% is left. City driving I get 450-480km when driven normally, but can get more if driven sedately.

Fuel: Diesel
Fuel tank size: 37
City tank range: 600-650
Highway tank range: 750-800

Car & Engine: Swift Dzire VXI First generation MT (1.3L Petrol)
Fuel tank size: 41L
City tank range: 440km on lower side assuming 11kmpl
Highway tank range: 575Km on lower side assuming 14kmpl

*I diligently track my fuel top-ups & FE on both our cars as well as my Honda Aviator scooter, so I know that city FE varies between 11-13 Kmpl and highway FE varies between 15-17 Kmpl and I assume the lower number (even lower on highways) when planning my fuel top-ups so that I can get it refilled from a trusted/known pump on most occasions.

On both vehicles that has 57 & 60L tanks respectively, the practical range is 450-480 kms, beyond that I do not like to drive without a refueling stop, more for the vehicle than for me. I wish they had 100L tanks, but hey why carry so much additional weight when there are fuel stations around, so there is that.

I think about that time it would be good for the driver to have break as well for a few minutes to refresh, have a tea and an egg puff from among the many MDS bakeries
