How to check your 2013 Honda Pilot gas tank size

Okay, let’s say you forget how big the gas tank is on your 2013 Honda Pilot—after all, you are human. We here at Jerry are well aware of how life-depleting carpool duty can be.

Not to worry! There are a few foolproof ways to quickly determine your Pilot’s fuel capacity before your children—or you—fully lose it.

Measure the gas tank

Distract your 8-year-old with a pack of fruit snacks and pry the calculator out of their hand (give it back afterward). Grab a tape measure, too.

Now, multiply the length, width, and height of the tank and then divide that number by 231 (the number of cubic inches in a gallon) to arrive at the volume of your gas tank.

Check your owner’s manual

If you can fight past your battling children and reach the glovebox, whip out the owner’s manual. We’re sure you've read it cover to cover, but check the index or glossary for a phrase such as “fuel tank capacity” and you’ll get your answer.

Drive till empty, then fill it up

The tried-and-true method to figuring out how many gallons your tank takes? Drive your 2013 Honda Pilot until that tank is dryer than a Phoenix parking lot. Head to the gas station and fill ’er up!

While the amount of gas that it takes to fill your tank won’t tell you exactly how much fuel it can hold, it will give you an accurate approximation of your gas tank’s capacity.

How to save on fuel costs in a Honda Pilot

The 2013 Honda Pilot's EPA-rated fuel economy is 24 combined (city/highway) miles per gallon—pretty reasonable! But that doesn’t mean you should throw caution to the wind and ignore how much gas you use.

Both your pocketbook and your children will thank you (oh, who are we kidding—they won’t care) for cutting down on trips to the gas station. Here’s how to save money on fuel:

Keep up with maintenance: Follow Honda’s maintenance schedule religiously to keep your Pilot in top shape and to ensure wear and tear don’t rip too much into your gas mileage.

Drive carefully: Aggressive driving and braking will eat into your car’s fuel economy.

Don’t Idle: We know it's tempting to do so in the winter, but this just wastes gas. You don’t need to idle your engine any longer than one minute before driving off.

This app is great, but the customer service is even better! Not to mention convenient! My husband and I got the lowest rate (much lower than the rates I was finding online through my own searches), quickly, and pretty much all through text message! Thank you so much for a hassle free experience👍
