How to check your 2011 Ford Edge’s gas tank size

If you’re still not sure about your Edge’s gas tank size, there are a few ways of checking it out for yourself.

Measure the gas tank

If you want firsthand confirmation of your fuel tank’s capacity, all you need is a calculator and a tape measure. The process is simple: first, you’ll measure your tank’s width, length, and height. Multiply these numbers together, then divide that number by 231 (the number of cubic inches in a gallon) — and voilà! There’s your gas tank capacity.

Check your owner’s manual

If you’ve still got your owner’s manual, it will tell you the exact volume of your Edge’s gas tank. Just scan the index or table of contents for “fuel tank capacity” or something similar.

Drive till empty, then fill it up

If you find yourself fresh out of tape measures or an owner’s manual, you can discover your tank’s approximate size by driving until the fuel gauge gets to “E.” You won’t get the exact number, but this will you give you a working idea of how much gas your tank holds — just make sure you aren’t driving on empty for too long!

How to save on fuel costs in a Ford Edge

With the standard engine and drivetrain, the 2011 Ford Edge gets an average of 19 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway, but this can vary depending on your trim and engine. No matter what configuration you’ve got, it’s probably a good idea to try and cut back on your gas consumption. Here are a few tips for reducing your fuel expenses:

Keep up with maintenance. Make sure your Edge is getting the best possible fuel economy by staying on top of

routine maintenance

Drive with caution. Accelerating too quickly or regularly driving fast will drain your gas faster, too.

Avoid idling, especially in winter. Keeping your car idling burns up gas unnecessarily. Rather than letting it sit and run, warm up your Edge by driving gently on chilly mornings.
