Tank capacity specifics


Official specification


For the 2008 Avalon, the standard fuel tank capacity is 18.5 gallons (approximately 70 liters). This figure is widely cited in Toyota manuals and service data for North American-market cars equipped with the 3.5-liter V6 engine and automatic transmission.

Before listing key figures about capacity, here is a quick overview:



  • Official tank capacity: 18.5 gallons (70 liters).

  • Usable fuel vs. total capacity: The tank has a small reserve; the gauge may show empty before the tank is truly empty, so usable fuel is slightly less than 18.5 gallons in practice.

  • Estimated driving range: With typical V6 mpg figures (roughly 20–25 mpg in combined driving), the full tank yields an approximate range of 370–460 miles, depending on driving conditions and maintenance.


In short, 18.5 gallons is the standard figure for the 2008 Avalon, and actual range will vary with conditions and trim specifics.
