How big is a 2007 Dodge Caliber gas tank?
The 2007 Dodge Caliber uses a fuel tank capacity of 15.9 US gallons (about 60 liters).
This article explains the official spec, how that size affects driving range, and where to verify the exact capacity on your vehicle. It also covers how to read documentation and what to expect when filling up.
Official specs and what it means for range
Chrysler’s documentation and widely cited automotive references list the Caliber’s fuel tank capacity at 15.9 US gallons (60 L). This capacity applies to typical 2007 Caliber configurations, including both the 2.0-liter and 2.4-liter engine variants, since the tank is a fixed component of the car’s undercarriage. Real-world range depends on driving conditions and the chosen transmission, but the capacity itself remains consistent across standard models for that year.
Understanding the tank size helps when planning trips, estimating how often you’ll refuel, and budgeting fuel costs for daily driving or longer journeys.
Where to verify the capacity on your car
To confirm the exact capacity for a specific vehicle, consult these sources. Each one typically holds a definitive figure for that unit.
- Owner’s manual fuel-tank capacity specification
- Label inside the driver’s door jamb or the fuel-filler door
- Chrysler/Dodge official specifications or dealership data
- Reputable automotive databases and repair manuals
Note: Exact figures can vary slightly due to measurement tolerances and how full the tank is when measurements are taken. Refer to the vehicle’s label and manual for the definitive number on your specific Caliber.
Driving-range context
With a tank of about 15.9 gallons and typical EPA fuel economy in the mid-20s to low-30s mpg range depending on engine and transmission, drivers can expect a practical driving range roughly in the 350–450 mile band. Actual range depends on driving style, traffic conditions, and payload.
