How big is the Nissan Sentra SV gas tank?
I’m trying to budget for a road trip, but I don’t know how much to budget for gas. I have a Nissan Sentra SV - how big is the gas tank and how far can I get before I have to fill up?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
The
Nissan Sentra SV
has a 12.4-gallon gas tank. It gets about 29 miles to the gallon if you’re driving in the city, and 39 miles to the gallon on the highway. If you want a conservative estimate, you’ll get around 360 miles on a full tank of gas.There are some ways you can boost your fuel economy to get the most out of each fill-up. Here’s how:
- Clean out your car. Every extra 100 pounds of weight dramatically reduces your gas mileage, so ditch things like bikes or luggage racks.
- Limit idling. Sitting still with the engine running burns more fuel than actually driving.
- Keep a steady pace. Constant stopping and accelerating drop fuel economy, so use cruise control when you can.
- Check your tire pressure. Tires with low air decrease your fuel economy by 3%.
- Keep up with regular maintenance. Having parts that function correctly keep your fuel-burning efficiently.
