How big is the gas tank on a 2012 Toyota Corolla?

Since 1966, the Toyota Corolla has built up a reputation for dependability, longevity, and affordability. It’s a comfortable sedan that remains a highly functional favorite, and although each generation introduces a few new changes, there are some things about the Corolla that will always stay the same.

Holding true to the model’s constant reliability and steadfast nature, the 2012 Corolla kept things simple by offering just one gas tank size across all trim levels. Every model had a 4-cylinder 1.8-liter engine and a 13.2-gallon gas tank.

How to check your 2012 Toyota Corolla’s gas tank size

If you’re not entirely confident in what we’ve reported, you can always check for yourself in a number of ways. To verify our accuracy, try one or more of these methods:

Measure the gas tank

You can take the hands-on approach by measuring your gas tank to calculate how many gallons it will hold. Get a measuring tape, a pencil and paper, and a calculator. Crawl under your Corolla and measure the gas tank’s width, length, and height in inches. Then, multiply these figures together and divide that total by 231, which is the number of cubic inches per gallon. Your answer will tell you how many gallons the tank holds.

Check your owner’s manual

Dig out the owner’s manual and turn to the index. Look up “fuel tank” or “gas tank” and find the section that covers your car’s fuel tank size.

Drive till empty, then fill it up

If you like living on the edge of your seat, you can try driving down to an almost-empty tank and fill ‘er up. This method may not be exact, but it will be close. Just be careful to not let your gas gauge dip too low because you don’t want to end up stranded on an empty tank.

How to save on fuel costs in a 2012 Toyota Corolla

The 2012 Corolla’s fuel efficiency is pretty good for an older sedan, with up to 27 mpg in the city and 34 on the highway. However, as your vehicle ages, its efficiency can dwindle. It’s important to take proper care in driving and maintenance to make sure your car stays as efficient as possible. Here are a few

tips for saving money on gas

Don’t neglect your car’s maintenance. Keeping up with a

basic car maintenance schedule

—including simple services like oil changes and tire rotations—will help your Corolla’s fuel efficiency.

Drive cautiously. Take it easy on the gas and drive conservatively to use less fuel.

Avoid idling the engine. It’s tempting to let your car warm up before you run outside in the cold, but it’s a big waste of gasoline. It’s also not good for the environment.
