How to determine your Scion TC’s gas tank size

Want more verification? That’s cool, we're not offended. You hear all kinds of things online these days. Anyway, here are a few other methods you can utilize to find out the capacity of your gas tank.

Do the math

If you have a measuring tape handy, you can pop the trunk and measure the gas tank yourself. Get the width, length, and height of your tank inches, and multiply them together to get the volume in cubic inches. Now divide that number by 231 (the number of cubic inches in a gallon), and there it is—your gas tank’s capacity!

Read the book

If you still have the owner’s manual to your Scion TC kicking around, the gas tank capacity should be listed there. Look for a section named “capacities” or “specifications.”

Risky road trip adventure

Like to fly by the seat of your pants? Here’s your method. Drive until the tank reads empty, and then hit the gas station and see how much it takes to fill it up.

Be cautious with this route, though, as it could potentially get quite inconvenient—and slightly embarrassing if you end up running out of gas far from a fuel station!

How to save on fuel costs in a Scion TC

The Scion TC was designed to be a fun economical car, and it gets a respectable 26 mpg in combined city/highway driving.

But everyone wants to save money on fuel, so here are a few basic tips to help out with fuel economy no matter what you’re driving.

Routine maintenance is vital. Cumulative wear and tear is bad for a car for many reasons, and one of them is that it leads to a reduction in fuel economy.

Go easy on the gas pedal. Rapid acceleration burns a lot of fuel, so do your best to keep a slow and steady foot on the gas.

Avoid idling as much as you can. Idling a lot is not only bad for fuel economy, but it’s also bad for the environment—so avoid it as much as you can!
