How to check your 2019 Kia Forte’s gas tank size

Don’t just take our word for it: There are plenty of other methods you can use to determine your 2019 Kia Forte gas tank size.

Measure the gas tank

You can actually check your gas tank size yourself using a measuring tape and a calculator.

Measure the length, width, and height of your gas tank and divide the result by 231—the number of cubic inches in a gallon. The result will tell you how many gallons of fuel your tank can hold.

Check your owner’s manual

Your owner’s manual has loads of useful information about your car, from the right kind of oil to use during an oil change to the location of the windshield wiper fluid reservoir—and the size of your gas tank. Scan the index for key terms like “fuel tank capacity” or something similar.

Drive till empty, then fill it up

If you lost your owner’s manual and don’t have a measuring tape on hand, don’t sweat it, you can still determine your fuel tank size the old-fashioned way. Drive around until the fuel gauge hits “E,” then head to the gas station to fuel up.

If you opt for this method, be aware that it may not give you an exact measurement and that you shouldn’t drive around for too long on an empty tank.

How to save on fuel costs in a 2019 Kia Forte

We mentioned that the 2019 Kia Forte is great on gas, but exactly how good is it? The base FE trim gets an impressive 27 mpg city/37 mpg highway.

If you opt for one of the IVT (intelligent variable transmission) trims, you’ll get even better fuel economy with 31 city mpg/41 highway mpg.

Just because it’s already pretty good on gas doesn’t mean you should stop there! Following these tips can help you conserve gas:

Keep up with

routine maintenance

: A damaged, clogged-up engine can result in decreased fuel economy. Having a mechanic regularly check on your engine can help nip potential problems in the bud.

Drive carefully: Using a lighter touch on the gas pedal will help keep your fuel consumption lower and steadier.

Avoid idling, especially in cold weather: Idling gobbles up gas for no good reason. On those chilly winter mornings, warm up your Forte by driving it around as opposed to starting it up and letting it idle.
