How the hell am I supposed to drive past gas stations with only an 11.1 gal tank? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Seems to me there is an "industry standard" for fuel tank capacity, usually works out to a range of 300-400 miles. Some vehicles have larger tanks installed for extra range, but nearly every car I've had in the last 55 years worked out to about the standard.

This is why I giggle a bit when someone says the made it from x to y on 1/2 a tank of gas; so does everyone else. Ask what the tank capacity is, and most have no clue...
