How big is the gas tank on a 2006 Toyota Corolla?

One of the best mid-size sedans on the market has a gas tank equivalent to most other sedans of its size on the market. And no matter what trim level you opt for, the gas tank size will remain the same.

The Toyota Corolla comes with a 1.8-liter, four-cylinder engine that partners with a gas tank that holds 13.2 gallons of fuel.

Other vehicles in its class, like the

Honda Civic

and

Nissan Sentra

, have the same fuel tank capacity, so you won’t find more volume if you go with a competitor.

How to check your 2006 Toyota Corolla’s gas tank size

If you want a little more information on the size of the Toyota Corolla’s gas tank, we’ve got your back. Here are a few easy ways to nail down that number if you want to double-check.

Measure the gas tank

If you want to do it the old-fashioned way, you need measuring tape and a calculator. To figure it out, multiply the width, length, and height of the tank and divide the result by 231 (that’s the number of cubic inches in a gallon) to determine the capacity.

Check your owner’s manual

If you haven’t misplaced the owner’s manual, you can double-check the size of your tank by looking in the manual. Search under “fuel tank capacity” or similar wording to get an accurate measurement.

Drive till empty, then fill it up

If “Danger” is your middle name—and the first two options have been exhausted—you can find out about how much fuel your tank will hold by driving until the fuel gauge reads “E” before you fill it back up. This might not give you the most precise reading, but the meter on the gas pump will show you the approximate size of your fuel tank.

One word of warning: be sure you don’t drive too long on “E”!

How to save on fuel costs in a Toyota Corolla

When you put regular gasoline in the gas tank, the 2006 Toyota Corolla gets about 32 mpg in the city and 41 on the highway, which is some decent mpg, if you ask us.

But regardless of how efficient it is, there are ways to save on fuel costs if you truly want to conserve gas and save money:

Maintain regularly. If you let wear and tear go too long, the Corolla will see a drop in fuel economy.

Drive carefully. Slow acceleration and easy braking will help keep fuel consumption steady.

Don’t let the car run in cold weather. It might seem like a good idea to start your car in the morning so you can enter a warm car, but that will burn gas. Try to not do this to save on fuel costs.
