In 2012, the Nissan Rogue was at the tail end of its first generation, and the brand kept things simple by making the model with a uniformly-sized 15.9-gallon gas tank across its trims. Each model of the 2012 line was also powered by the same 170-horsepower, 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine.

How to check your 2012 Nissan Rogue’s gas tank size

If you’re still a little skeptical about your gas tank size, whether it’s on a Nissan Rogue or any other model, there are a few different ways to check for yourself. Try one of these methods:

Measure the gas tank

If you like DIY projects and have a little time on your hands, you can measure the physical dimensions of your gas tank and calculate its capacity.

You’ll need a measuring tape, pencil, paper, and a calculator. Get right under your vehicle’s gas tank, and measure the tank’s width, length, and height in inches. Then, multiply those numbers together. Once you get that total, divide it by 231, which is how many cubic inches are in a gallon. This will give you the number of gallons your gas tank can hold.

Check your owner’s manual

Another easy solution is simply checking the owner’s manual for your car. If you can’t find your owner’s manual, you can locate a digital version online at

Nissan’s website

Drive till empty, then fill it up

Another technique for car owners looking for a little thrill is driving until the tank is almost empty. Drive it until the fuel gauge is down to the E line, and then fill your gas tank all the way up. It might not be super exact, but it will give you a pretty good idea of how much gasoline your Rogue needs at the gas station.

How to save on fuel costs in a 2012 Nissan Rogue

The 2012 Nissan Rogue’s fuel efficiency gets it up to 22 mpg in the city and 26 on the highway for a combined 23 mpg. However, as a car gets older, sometimes its fuel efficiency can deteriorate. There are a few things you can do to keep your 2012 Rogue running as efficiently as it can.

Keep a maintenance schedule. By staying on top of your car’s

regular maintenance schedule

, like oil changes and tire rotations, you’re not only keeping the vehicle in good health, but you’re also helping it run more efficiently.

Drive slowly. If you’re not in a big hurry, let off the gas pedal a little and go slower. The slower you drive, the less fuel you’re using.

Don’t idle. It’s really not necessary to leave your car’s engine running when you’re not driving, and it’s a big waste of fuel. Shut it off and conserve gasoline.
