How to check your 2013 Ford Focus Gas Tank Size

If you need a little extra help figuring out just how many gallons your 2013 Ford Focus can hold, you can always check the size yourself with a bit of ingenuity.

Measure the gas tank

If you have a measuring tape and a calculator — or a talent for mental math — you can always go analog to get your answer. Simply multiply the width by the length by the height of the tank. Then, divide your result by 231 (the total number of cubic inches that fit into a gallon) to get your fuel tank capacity in gallons.

Check your owner’s manual

If you still have your 2013 Ford Focus owner’s manual around, you should be able to find an answer there. Typically, this will be listed under “fuel tank capacity”, or something along those lines.

Drive till empty, then fill it up

This is for all you daredevils out there: If you aren’t afraid of a little risk, you can always just drive around until your fuel gauge hits “Empty”. Get to a gas station (quickly!) and fill up. However many gallons it takes to fill your once-empty tank is a close estimate for your fuel tank capacity.

How to save on fuel costs in a Ford Focus

The 2013 Ford Focus gets about 30 mpg combined city/highway. While that’s a number most drivers would be happy to brag about, there’s no harm in finding new ways to save even more money on gas and get more for your mileage.

Use these tips to maximize the already great fuel mileage of the Ford Focus:

Keep up with

maintenance

. Taking care of everything from your tires to your air filter can help you get the most out of your mileage.

Drive carefully. Harsh acceleration can eat up gas pretty quickly, so try not to have a lead foot.

Avoid idling, especially in cold weather. Try to avoid idling even if it's just to warm up your car before driving in colder months, as it eats up gas.

Ford also offers some options to maximize your fuel economy even further. The Super Fuel Economy Package, for instance, includes features like low rolling-resistance tires and a rear spoiler to bring the car’s fuel economy to 40 mpg on the highway.

How to optimize your Ford Focus’ insurance coverage
