How big is the fuel tank in your SUV?

[Egon]

The tank on mine seems darned big when filling up but seems darned small as soon as the driving starts.

DANG, them is BIG Kilometers, bigger than any I have ever seen (-:

Now, there are US gallons and Imperial gallons, but I know NOTHING of GIANT kilometers.
My 32 Km are usually closer to 20 Miles.

Prove me wrong, I have a thirst for knowledge.

I fat fingered it 632 was the actual #

My truck is 38 gallons. My usual driving I fill up after 650 miles give or take. Though the last tank lasted a bit over 700 miles. At fill up I usually have 6 gallons left or about 100-120 miles.

Our SUV has a pretty small tank and gets bad mpg. I think it might have a 22 or 24 gallon tank and we fill it up on trips around 400 miles.

I think the old Ford Excursions had 42 gallon tanks. With the old 7.3L diesel they could go over 800 miles on a tank depending on how fast/slow you drove it. The Excursion gets better mpg than our SUV.

Our big suv is 18 gal at about 450 miles. The small crossover is 13 gal at over 350 miles. Definely not gas-hogs, I really don't enjoy buying gasolines since it went above a Quarter a gallon..Dang, a long time??

Our small Jeep Patriot has a 13.5 gallon tank and we get 29 MPG.

I think the rule here is when you see a gas station get water and fuel. You never know how soon you will see the next one.
We drive for some sight seeing and swim in one of the gorges in Karijini park every Sunday. That is about 700 to 800 km round trip. You have to bring everything with you and have two spare tires because most of the driving is on unpaved roads.

When I'm working in remote areas, this is my #1 rule.

My Excursion is 44 gallons. I can get about 750+ miles out of it doing all highway, but probably closer to 800.

Same here. We have an Excursion and if it is all highway we can get right at 800 miles (1280km) on one tank. We don't normally run it all the way down and go 650 to 700 miles between fillups.

We had a Suburban before we got the Ex and it also had a 44 gallon tank but didn't get as good mileage and would only do about 700 miles (1120km) per tank.

I am working in Pilbara, Western Australia. Seems to me that the cars have much larger fuel tanks than the US version.
First picture shows amount of fuel to top the tank when it was initially only about half full.
The second picture shows why.

118 l = 31 gal
632 km = 393 miles

Uh...I see some water just beyond the sign...
