How many gallons does a 2012 Dodge Challenger hold?

The 2012 Dodge Challenger has a fuel tank capacity of 18.5 gallons (about 70 liters).


This capacity applies across the model lineup for that year, including the V6 and V8 variants, and is the official specification listed by Dodge. Real-world usable fuel and tolerances may vary slightly, but 18.5 gallons is the standard figure drivers should rely on for planning fuel stops and range estimates.


Standard capacity across trims


For the 2012 Challenger, Dodge did not publish separate tank capacities for different trims. The official figure is 18.5 gallons for the entire model year, covering both the base V6 and the higher-performance V8 variants such as the R/T and SRT8.


Estimating range from the tank


To estimate driving range from a full tank, multiply the tank capacity by your expected miles per gallon (mpg). For example, with roughly 20 mpg combined, a full 18.5-gallon tank would provide about 370 miles of range under those conditions. Actual range varies with engine choice, transmission, driving style, terrain, and weather.


Summary: The 2012 Dodge Challenger holds 18.5 gallons of fuel in its tank, a figure that applies across its trims for that model year.
