The 2013 Honda Accord has a gas tank with a fuel capacity of 17.2 gallons, regardless of whether your Accord has the base 2.4-liter inline-4 engine or the optional 3.5-liter V-6.

The 2013 Honda Accord may be a smaller family car, but it can fit quite a bit of gasoline in its tank. It offers fantastic fuel efficiency with the base engine, but you’ll trade a bit of that economy for seriously fun, high-level performance with the 278 horsepower on the V-6.

If you’re not certain we’re talking about the same Honda Accord as the one you have, you can alway just check your owner’s manual, which is essentially the holy grail of information on how to take care of your car. If you don’t have your owner’s manual, don’t fret!

How to check your 2013 Accord’s gas tank size

Alright, so let’s imagine a scenario in which, for some reason, you’re just not sure that your car’s fuel capacity is actually 17.2 gallons. Luckily for you, Jerry has some pretty clever tips that you can use to find out your Accord’s fuel capacity the hard way!

Measure the gas tank

The first obvious maneuver that you can pull is to pay a little homage to our friend Rene Descartes and use a little bit of math to calculate your gas tank’s fuel capacity.

You just need to take out your measuring tape, measure the gas tank’s length, width, and height, and then multiply them together. If you measured in inches, you’ll get a result in cubic inches. Since there are 231 cubic inches in a gallon, just divide that result by 231, and you’ll get the volume in gallons! Easy! Here’s a formula to help you out, courtesy of our high school math training:

W x L x H = V

V(cu in)(1 gal/231 cu in) = V(gal)

Isn’t that neat? No? Not a fan of math, you say? No matter! There are other ways!

Check your owner’s manual

Haha, got you! We’re telling you to read your owner’s manual again, because it’s really just a great thing to do if you want the most accurate information on the ins-and-outs of the vehicle you drive. We’re sure you’ll find the answer to the size of your 2013 Honda Accord’s gas tank in there!

Drive till empty, then fill it up

This one’s for all you chaotic weirdos out there who are simply too cool for school, out here working smarter and not harder! To get a fairly accurate estimate of how much gas you can put in your Accord’s tank, drive it till it’s empty, fill it all the way up, and note how much gas it took to fill it up. Imagine how clever you’d feel if you had come up with this one yourself!

How to save on fuel costs in a 2013 Honda Accord

A 2013 Honda Accord is already quite good on gas, although the same can’t exactly be said about the performance-focused Accord EX-L V-6.

But there’s more you can do to conserve gas and save money on fuel costs. Here are some tips for doing just that!

Keep up with maintenance. Don’t skip your oil change! A healthy engine uses less gasoline than one with old oil or lots of wear and tear.

Drive carefully. If you ease up on the gas pedal and practice not accelerating so suddenly, you’ll be able to use less gasoline as you drive and save money!

Avoid idling. One of the easiest ways to save on gas is to shut off your vehicle when you’re not driving—yes, even if it’s cold outside.

How to optimize your 2013 Accord’s insurance coverage

With all the gas price scares these past few years, fuel costs are weighing heavily on the minds of anyone driving a gas-powered car. Luckily, you can offset some of those increasing costs by shopping for a cheaper, better
