!How big is the gas tank of a 2013 Honda Civic?
As a compact car with excellent fuel economy, the
2013 Honda Civic
's 13.2-gallon fuel tank is more than adequate. Remember, however, that a Civic Natural Gas can only hold 8 gallons, so plan your route carefully. With so many different powertrains available, it's hard to know what kind of gas to use. Here's the best gas for each Honda Civic model:
Model | Engine | Gas Type |
|---|---|---|
Honda Civic | 1.8-L four-cylinder | Regular unleaded gasoline |
Honda Civic Natural Gas | 1.8-L inline-four | Compressed natural gas |
Honda Civic SI (Coupe or Sedan) | 2.4-L four-cylinder | Premium unleaded gasoline |
Honda Civic Hybrid | 1.5-L inline-four | Regular unleaded gasoline |
You'll also get better fuel economy if you choose the right powertrain, but we’ll discuss that later. Just know that your gas tank will be the same size whether you have a coupe, sedan, or any of the following trims:

How to check your 2013 Honda Civic’s gas tank size
You can measure any car's fuel tank yourself using any of these methods:
Measure the gas tank
You'll need a measuring tape and a calculator for this method. First, find your vehicle's gas tank and measure its width, length, and height in inches. If you multiply your measurements and then divide the result by 231 (the number of cubic inches in a gallon), you'll get the volume of the gas tank.
Check your owner’s manual
A vehicle’s owner's manual usually lists its gas tank capacity. On
Honda's online support page
, you can find copies of every manual dating back to the early 2000s (just in case you've lost yours).Drive ‘till empty, then fill it up
If you’re a gambler, you can drive your Honda Civic until the gas gauge is empty, then see how much fuel it takes to refill the tank. Unless your car runs out right at the pump, you won't get an exact measurement, but you'll get a good idea. So gas up, check the pump, tighten the fuel cap, and go!

You'll need to unscrew the Honda Civic SI's gas cap more often than the other models. However, you can avoid a refill for as long as possible on every model by following these tips:
- Keep your vehicle in good condition. The fastest way to reduce your Civic's fuel economy is by skipping regular maintenance, which lets the system wear out.
- Drive at a relaxed pace. Keeping your fuel consumption low means easing off the gas pedal and avoiding sudden acceleration.
- When it's cold, idle less. Idling your car will spike your gas consumption. If it's chilly, drive gently to warm up your vehicle.
