. Let’s get started!

How big is the gas tank on a 2019 Ford Fiesta?

The 2019 Ford Fiesta is a compact sedan or hatchback with a 12.4-gallon gas tank. Considering the average tank size for an everyday compact vehicle is between 13 and 16 gallons, the 2019 Fiesta’s fuel capacity is below average.

However, it can still rack up well over 400 miles on a single fill-up, thanks to its ergonomic design and efficient powertrain. Continue reading to learn more ways you can

How to check your 2019 Ford Fiesta’s gas tank size

Throughout the Fiesta’s entire North American production run (sixth & seventh generation), the fuel tank sizes have remained almost identical: 12.4 gallons for most models, 12 gallons for 2012 & 2013, and one outlying 16-gallon tank in 2011.

But if you want to measure the gas tank of the 2019 Ford Fiesta for yourself, here are some ways you can:

Measure the gas tank

Want to check our work? Go ahead. Just multiply the tank's width, length, and height of the gas tank and divide the result by 231 (that’s the number of cubic inches in a gallon).

Check your owner’s manual

You’ve probably come to us for your answer because you misplaced your owner’s manual. But if you can locate it, wipe the dust off, and look for “fuel tank capacity” or similar phrases to get an accurate measurement.

Drive till empty, then fill it up

Got an appetite for risk? You can always run your gas tank dry before filling up again. Obviously, if you don’t literally roll into the gas station, the measurement may not be 100% accurate—but it will be pretty close!

How to save on fuel costs in a 2019 Ford Fiesta

The 2019 Ford Fiesta can achieve an estimated 30 combined mpg. But just because it can get 30 mpg doesn’t mean it will if you are not a responsible car owner—it’s a give and take.

Here are some simple strategies you can implement to ensure you’re getting every mile out of your Fiesta's gas tank:

Keep up with maintenance. Preventing unnecessary wear and tear will help preserve the maximum efficiency potential of your 2019 Ford Fiesta.

Drive carefully. Aggressive acceleration will negatively impact your fuel efficiency.

Avoid idling, especially in cold weather. Light driving can serve as an appropriate warm-up, even in cold weather. Idling is simply just a waste of fuel.
