The fuel tank on a 2013 Honda Fit holds 11.3 gallons (42.8 liters).
The 2013 Honda Fit, a compact hatchback known for its clever interior and efficiency, uses a relatively small but capable fuel tank. This size is chosen to balance cargo space, weight, and range for urban and highway use alike. Knowing the tank capacity helps drivers plan refueling stops and trip budgets.
Specifications and range basics
Here are the core numbers you need to know about the fuel system in the 2013 Fit, including the fixed tank size and how it translates into range under typical driving conditions.
Note: The figures assume the standard 11.3-gallon tank and EPA fuel economy readings typical for the CVT-equipped model. Actual range will vary with driving style, terrain, and weather.
- Fuel tank capacity: 11.3 gallons (42.8 liters).
The 11.3-gallon capacity is generally the same across most trims, including both manual and CVT transmissions, making fuel planning straightforward for buyers and owners.
Estimated driving range under typical conditions
Range depends on how you drive. Using the EPA's mpg estimates for the 2013 Fit with CVT (around 29 mpg city, 37 mpg highway, 32 mpg combined), the following ranges are approximate for a full tank:
Note: Values below are illustrative and depend on actual mpg and driving conditions.
- City driving (roughly 29 mpg): about 327 miles on a full tank.
- Highway driving (roughly 37 mpg): about 418 miles on a full tank.
- Typical mixed driving (roughly 32 mpg): about 360 miles on a full tank.
In real-world use, you may see ranges that fall outside these numbers due to weight, cargo, tire pressure, climate control usage, and driving style.
Additional considerations
Transmission differences
The gas tank size does not change with transmission type—the 2013 Fit’s capacity remains 11.3 gallons whether you choose a manual or CVT. Fuel economy will vary slightly with transmission and trim level, which in turn affects range expectations.
Maintenance and fuel safety
Keep the fuel system in good shape with regular maintenance. Use the recommended octane rating for your region and maintain proper tire pressure to maximize efficiency and range.
Summary
The 2013 Honda Fit is equipped with a fixed fuel tank of 11.3 gallons (42.8 liters). With EPA ratings in the 29–37 mpg range depending on driving conditions, typical driving range spans roughly 327–418 miles per tank, with the common mixed-driving range around 360 miles. This balance reflects Honda’s focus on efficiency and practicality in a versatile compact hatchback.
