How big is the gas tank on a 2020 Ford Fusion?

Your gas tank will vary in size based on the specific drivetrain/powertrain configuration of your 2020 Ford Fusion—ranging from 14 to 18 gallons. Let’s break it down:

FWD 1.5-liter EcoBoost I-4: 16.5 gal

FWD 2.0-liter EcoBoost I-4: 16.5 gal

FWD 2.5-liter i-VCT: 16.5 gal

AWD 2.0-liter EcoBoost I-4: 18 gal

FWD hybrid

: 14 gal

FWD plug-in hybrid

: 14 gal

These gas tank sizes are balanced to produce similar driving distances across different configurations. For example: cars with all-wheel-drive (AWD) typically get slightly worse fuel economy than front-wheel-drive (FWD) models. Hence, the AWD model needs the extra 1.5 gallons to offset the efficiency deviation. Under the same principle, the hybrid model’s efficiency allows it to have a smaller gas tank, thanks to its gas/electric system.

How to check your 2020 Ford Fusion’s gas tank size

Want to see for yourself? Here are some ways to manually check the gas tank size of your 2020 Ford Fusion.

Measure the gas tank

First, grab your trusty tape measure. Then, locate your gas tank on the rear underside of your Fusion. Finally, to get the correct capacity, just multiply the tank's width, length, and height and divide the result by 231 (that’s the number of cubic inches in a gallon).

Check your owner’s manual

If you managed to lose your physical owner’s manual, we got you covered! Here’s a

Drive till empty, then fill it up

We don’t necessarily recommend this—you could quickly end up in that nightmare scenario we mentioned earlier—but driving until the fuel gauge hits “E” will provide a measurement of your gas tank.

Obviously, this may not be 100% precise. Your vehicle may run out of “useable fuel” before it runs completely dry. But it will be a pretty close estimation.

How to save on fuel costs in a Ford Fusion

Of course, your fuel efficiency mainly depends on the powertrain/drivetrain combo that your Fusion is equipped with—as mentioned. But there are some simple strategies you can implement to ensure you get every mile out of your tank:

Keep up with maintenance. Letting the wear and tear on your Fusion’s powertrain system build-up can cause your fuel economy to dip.

Drive carefully. Being too aggressive on the gas pedal can drastically decrease fuel efficiency.

Avoid idling, especially in cold weather. When you’re idling, you’re not moving. So every second that passes is fuel wasted.

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👍
