Before you head over to the gas station to refill your tank, it’s important to figure out how much gas your vehicle is equipped to handle. And if you lost your Honda owner’s manual to determine your fuel tank capacity—no problem! That’s why

How big is the gas tank on a 2000 Honda Accord?

While the average fuel tank capacity, depending on the vehicle type, ranges between 12 and 15 gallons, the 2000 Honda Accord has an above-average gas tank capacity of 17.1 gallons.

The gas tank size on Honda’s best-selling mid-size sedan (and sometimes coupe) has fluctuated over the years, ranging from an average sized 12.2 gallons to a larger-than-average 18.5 gallons. But the Accord gas tank size is based on factors like model year and trim level.

How to check your 2000 Accord’s gas tank size

Are you looking to double-check your Accord’s gas tank capacity? Then try these easy methods:

Measure the gas tank

Are you good with numbers? Then it’s time to bust out your handy calculator and measuring tape! All you’ll have to do is multiply the width, length, and height of your Accord’s gas tank and then divide that number by 231—or thenumber of cubic inches in a gallon.

Check your owner’s manual

Do you still have your Honda owner’s manual around? If so, then you can easily look up the phrase “gas tank capacity” or “fuel tank capacity” in the table of contents or index of your owner’s manual to verify the precise measurement of your gas tank.

Drive till empty, then fill it up

And if none of the options work and you just so happen to be a natural-born rebel, you can always determine your 2000 Accord’s fuel tank capacity by driving it until you reach the “E” on your fuel gauge and then refill it. It might sound a little crazy, but you should be able to estimate the size of your fuel tank—give or take.

How to save on fuel costs in a Honda Accord

When it comes to the 2000 Honda Accord’s fuel economy, how much you spend on gas will depend on your powertrain. For example, with a 2.3-liter four-cylinder and manual five-speed transmission, you’ll get up to 22 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. But if you upgrade to the thirstier 3.0-liter V6 engine and automatic transmission, you’ll end up with 18 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway.

While the 2000 Accord has a decent fuel economy, you can save further on fuel costs by following these helpful tips:

Keep up with maintenance. Don’t let excessive wear and tear get the best of your Accord! If you don’t follow a proper maintenance schedule, your fuel economy will suffer.

Drive cautiously. Avoid aggressively stomping down on your gas pedal to keep your fuel consumption as low as possible.

Avoid idling when it’s cold. Idling tends to quickly drink up your gas. Instead of letting your Accord run on its own, try slowly driving your sedan or coupe around to warm it up.

This app is great, but the customer service is even better! Not to mention convenient! My husband and I got the lowest rate (much lower than the rates I was finding online through my own searches), quickly, and pretty much all through text message! Thank you so much for a hassle free experience👍
