How big is the gas tank on a 2014 Ford Focus?

Ford’s ubiquitous compact car has a gas tank that is pretty average compared to other compact cars on the market. No matter the trim level, you’re looking at a gas tank that is 12.4 gallons.

Unlike other

Ford

vehicles that come with different configurations, the Ford Focus has one size tank, and one size tank only, making it a straightforward number in terms of how much gas you’ll need to fill up.

How to check your 2014 Ford Focus gas tank size

If you still want to know how to check to see how many gallons of gas the 2014 Ford Focus will hold, there are a few easy ways to figure it out for yourself.

Measure the gas tank

If you want to get your hands dirty and check the volume yourself, you need measuring tape and a calculator. That’s it. To figure out the capacity, just multiply the width, length, and height of the tank and divide the result by 231 (that’s the number of cubic inches in a gallon).

Check your owner’s manual

If you do have your owner’s manual in the glove box of the car, just search the index for “fuel tank capacity” (or something similar) to get the right measurement.

Drive till empty, then fill it up

If option A and option B are off the table, we have a risky proposition for you: drive until the fuel gauge reads “E” before you put more gas in. Then, fill the tank all the way up. The gauge on the gas pump will tell you how much fuel it took to go from empty to full. This won’t help you with an exact measurement, but you can get a general idea of how big the tank is. Just make sure not to drive too far with an empty tank!

How to save on fuel costs in a Ford Focus

With the 2.0 liter engine that comes standard in the 2014 Ford Focus, you can expect to get about 32 mpg combined.

Knowing that, you can expect to get decent mileage out of a full tank of gas. But if you want to conserve money, here are some tips to get the most out of your full fuel tank:

Keep up with maintenance. Letting small issues go can mean big issues down the road, which can lessen your fuel economy.

Stay steady behind the wheel. Don’t accelerate and decelerate too fast. Driving steadily can increase your fuel economy.

Don’t idle. If you let your car idle—especially in cold weather—you’re just wasting gas. Drive slowly on cold mornings instead of letting it idle in the driveway.
