2015 Micra fuel / gas tank capacity (and max. highway range)
The Micra specifications say:
- 41 L
- 9.0 gallons (Imperial)
- 10.8 gallons (US)
Now we just have to look at the fuel consumption ratings to estimate max cruising range...
If the Micra's "unofficial" fuel economy ratings hold true and you want to estimate the longest possible cruising range going strictly by the highway figures, here's what you'd get:
From completely full to bone dry (burning 41 L):
- Micra 1.6 L, 5-speed or automatic
@ 6.6 L/100 km highway (43 mpg Imp. / 36 mpg US)
would go 621 km / 386 miles to completely empty
Keep in mind the Micra uses NRCAN's 2015+ ratings, which are based on the tougher 5-cycle testing method. (In other words, depending on your viewpoint they're more pessimistic or "real world" than the ratings for 2014 and older cars.)
In the real world, if you drive the car carefully, don't speed, and use the A/C judiciously, you stand a good chance of beating the fuel economy ratings...
