How big is the gas tank on a 2016 Honda Civic?

The Honda Civic is known all over the world for its reliability and fuel efficiency. If you own a Civic or are even mildly familiar with the brand, you know that this model is incredibly adaptable and comes in a range of body styles and trim levels. That said, you may be surprised to learn that all of the body styles and trim models have the same fuel tank capacity.

The 2016 Honda Civic comes either as a sedan or a coupe, but each body style has slightly different trim models. While the sedan comes in either the

, EX-T,

EX-L

, and Touring trims, the coupe model swaps out the EX trim and replaces it with the LX-P.

The LX, EX, and LX-P trims are equipped with a 2-liter 4-cylinder engine. Moving up the trim levels, the EX-T, EX-L, and Touring models sport a turbocharged 1.5-liter 4-cylinder. Whichever you’re looking at, they all have a fuel tank size of 12.39 gallons.

How to check your 2016 Honda Civic’s gas tank size

In the event you forget everything you just read, there are other methods for figuring out your 2016 Honda Civic’s gas tank size. And hey, this information can come in handy no matter what vehicle you drive.

Measure the gas tank

This may take a little bit of time as you will need to get under the car, but we think that’s what makes this method so fun! To measure your gas tank, you’ll need a measuring tape and a calculator—whether you use your mind, an electronic device or an abacus is up to you.

Next, measure, jot down, or make a mental note of the width, length, and height of the tank. Divide the result you get by 231 to convert cubic inches to gallons and there you have it!

Check your owner’s manual

Wow, you found your owner’s manual! It was in the glove box all along. Search in the glossary for the “engine” or “fuel” sections. This information is usually listed under “fuel tank capacity” or similar terminology.

Drive till empty, then fill it up

Okay, so we don’t exactly condone completely tanking your tank. Instead, drive until your “E” light illuminates or dings. Then pull up to the gas station, fuel up, and look to see how many gallons your tank takes. Sure, it isn’t an exact science but it’s a good way to figure out a ballpark estimate.

How to save on fuel costs in a Honda Civic

The Honda Civic was one of the most fuel-efficient sedans of 2016, flaunting a 35 mpg combined fuel economy for the 1.5-liter turbo. The EPA estimates that driving a Honda Civic can save you $3,000 annually in fuel costs over five years as compared to the average new vehicle. But if you own the LX trim which is only available with a 6-speed manual, the savings are nearly cut in half.

No matter which Honda Civic you drive, it’s always nice to find ways to save money and be kinder to the environment. Here are a few ways to ease up on your fuel consumption:

Maintain your car. Scheduling—and sticking to—a routine maintenance schedule helps to keep everything running smoothly. Keeping your

tires inflated

, for example, can improve your gas mileage by up to 3%.

Go easy. Slamming on the brakes, accelerating hard, and speeding all skyrocket fuel consumption. You can enjoy improved fuel economy and be a safer driver simply by breaking a few bad habits.

Don’t idle. Idling, particularly in cold weather, can zap your gas levels while also creating pollution. Instead of letting your car idle in your driveway on cold winter days, you can help it come to temp by gently driving immediately after starting it.
