Gas prices are high, so it’s important to be able to predict what you’ll spend at the pump before pulling into the gas station. To do this, you’ll need to know two things: the current price of gas and exactly how much gas your vehicle can hold.

Your owner’s manual will list your Civic’s fuel tank capacity, but

How big is the gas tank on a 2001 Honda Civic?

The 2001 Honda Civic is a little car with impressive

fuel economy

, so a big gas tank simply isn’t necessary. Thus, the ‘01 Civic’s tank holds 13.2 gallons of gasoline—a bit below average when it comes to compact cars.

This number will be consistent across trim levels, as every 2001 Civic is powered by the same 1.7 L 4-cylinder engine.

How to check your 2001 Honda Civic’s gas tank size

If you ever forget your Civic’s specs, there are a few easy ways to check its gas tank size, regardless of its make, model, or trim.

Measure the gas tank

Do you remember middle school geometry? If not, here’s a quick refresher on how to determine volume the old-fashioned way!

Simply grab your measuring tape and multiply the width, length, and height of the tank. Then, divide the result by 231—the number of cubic inches in a gallon.

Check your owner’s manual

Your owner’s manual contains everything you need to know about your vehicle, so it’s a good source to reference for any and all questions you may have. Head to the index and look for the phrase “fuel tank capacity.”

Drive till empty, then fill it up

This is perhaps the riskiest method, but still offers a helpful estimation! Drive your Civic around until it’s as empty as possible. (Be careful, though! It would be horrible to be completely out of gas and stranded on the side of the highway.)

Then, fill your tank completely, and take a look at the fuel pump. This won’t be an exact number, but it’ll be pretty close!

How to save on fuel costs in a Honda Civic

The 2001 Honda Civic has excellent fuel economy, earning up to 36 city and 44 highway miles per gallon. However, in this economy, saving on gas is still a top concern.

Here are a few tips for getting the most out of your gas tank:

Stay on top of maintenance. Your Civic will only achieve optimal fuel efficiency if it’s well maintained. Never skip out on oil changes, fluid checks, and other routine maintenance.

Drive carefully. Harsh acceleration burns through gas, so make sure to keep your RPMs as low as possible as you ease up to speed.

Avoid idling, especially in cold weather. Idling—or running your car’s engine without moving—burns through gas. Major idling culprits include warming up your vehicle in the winter or sitting in a parking lot with the heat/AC running.

How to optimize your Civic’s insurance coverage

Saving on gas isn’t the only way to cut your vehicle ownership costs. You can also shop around for a cheaper
