-   -   What is your car's tank range? (https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/indian-car-scene/266042-what-your-cars-tank-range-12.html)

Car - Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire (2011 model original more than 4m)

Fuel - Petrol

Tank size - 40L

City mileage - 11 kmpl

Highway mileage - 13 kmpl

Practical range (mostly city) - 380 km

Maruti Suzuki Baleno Petrol
Tank - 37 litre
Range -- 450 km to 500 km in city use. On highways easily gives around 550+ km


Tata Harrier XZA+
Tank - 50 litre
Range -- 450 km In City and 650+ on Highways. Max Range on Instrumentation Cluster I have seen to date is 850 km.

Great thread. I personally focus more in the range of the car as long as the fuel economy isn’t too bad.

Without surprise diesels shine here. Famously, the Audi team won races with their TDi cars because they had to make lesser stops to refuel.

At home two cars with great range is the w211 and fortuner.

W211 gives a huge mileage range of 8-15 kmpl depending on the driving style and roads. With an 80 liter tank, this translates to 640 - 1200 kms of range. 2013 Diesel Automatic Fortuner gives a mileage of 10-14 kmpl depending on the mileage and the roads. So, with a 70 liter tank this translates to 700 plus kms of range.

My personal favourite is the w211 here since it offers brilliant range, comfort and driving fun. Truly the go to car for highway runs and long trips.

Car & Engine: VW Jetta 2.0 TDi
Fuel tank size: 55L
City tank range: Approximately 770 - 880 km
Highway tank range: Approximately 950 - 1100 km

Car & Engine: Ford Freestyle 1.5 TDCi
Fuel tank size: 40L
City tank range: 650-720 km . I get around 16-18 kmpl inside city,
Highway tank range: 800 - 950 odd km. But I always fill back when it is at 1/4 mark .

Well I am pretty happy with the tank range , even if I have some short blasts(120+) in highways still Freestyle manages an average of at least 20 kmpl.

I guess it's a typo error. 32 KMPL is next to impossible

4th gen Honda City Petrol MT (2014)
Tank capacity:35L ( official) but takes in ~40L before auto cut off
City: 400-450 kms (if driven sedately)
Close to 300 kms if I'm redlining it in 2nd gear like a maniac :coldsweat

Highways: close to 600 kms (cruising within 100 kmph)
Drops to about 520 kms when cruising @ 120 kmph

This is in the Gulf, I generally drive the various company cars available:

Hyundai Elantra 1.6 CVT (2022):

705 km (this is crazy efficient)

Toyota Camry 2.4 (2017):

526 km

Cadillac DTS 4.6 V8 (2006):

340 km

Vento 1.6 Tdi 2012

I’m always amazed by the figures it returns.

Maruti Ritz Zxi 2013
Tank capacity: 43L
I have never driven completely in the city, the car does Highway duty mostly with family. Has only covered 47k in 10yrs
Max Range driven: 657 ( filled 38.4L after)
Least mileage obtained: 14.58 Km/L
Max mileage obtained: 18.85 Km/L





I don't know if my driving has changed or the car is returning low mileage lately I'm only averaging 16.1 Km/L on highways.
The spark plugs were changed at 35k.
Filters are always new.
Fuel is almost always at Reliance/Essar.
Checked MAF sensor, looks clean.
Any ideas on improving mileage?

Thank you,
Happy motoring.

Yes, very easily..
Check out the refuel cycle fuel economy (actual tank to tank is 1-1.5km less)

Car & Engine: BMW X3 20d
Fuel tank size: 67L
City tank range: 590 Km (typically top up at around 425 km)
Highway tank range: about 700 km (784 Km based on best ever efficiency)





Car & Engine: VW Tiguan Allspace 2.0 Petrol TSI
Fuel tank size: 60L
City tank range: 450 Km (typically top up at around 320 km)

Perfectly acceptable range in both cars in my opinion.
