2017 Civic tank size is different than 2016 Long story short, I traded in my 2016 Civic Coupe for a 2017. The average MPG is about the same, around 40 without traffic on the highway. However, I would have an average of 470 miles to go after filling up on the 16. On the 17, I get about 425 miles. Both say tank size is 12.4 gallons. So either this is inaccurate or the MPG is less on the 17. Either way, heads up. |
Re: 2017 Civic tank size is different than 2016 Cold weather, & winter fuel may be the reason. |

Both are 1.5T Coupe. First was a Touring. This one is an EX-T. Both say tank size is 12.4 gallons. |
Re: 2017 Civic tank size is different than 2016 Identical cars with externally identical fuel tanks and different internal capacities? Has someone been making trips south of the border? |
Re: 2017 Civic tank size is different than 2016 Is it possible the reserve tank on the '17 isn't as big (or even there)? |
Re: 2017 Civic tank size is different than 2016 Reserve tank ???? No such thing present. |

Re: 2017 Civic tank size is different than 2016 Yeah, I have no idea. |

Re: 2017 Civic tank size is different than 2016 My 2013 EX lights up like Christmas, so I put fuel in way before warning appears. The differences in horsepower could explain the OPs fuel mileage discrepancy. |
