How many miles can a 2013 Honda Accord go on a full tank?
Most 2013 Honda Accords can travel roughly 450 to 550 miles on a full tank, depending on the engine and driving conditions.
In detail, the car uses a 17.2-gallon fuel tank in most sedans. The EPA fuel economy varies by engine and transmission: 4-cylinder models with a CVT typically achieve around 31 mpg combined; 4-cylinder models with a manual are in the high 20s; V6 models sit in the mid-20s. Real-world mileage will differ based on city versus highway driving, climate, cargo, and load.
What affects range
Several factors determine how far you can go on a full tank. Here are the main contributors:
- Fuel tank capacity (common value for most 2013 Accord sedans is about 17.2 gallons).
- EPA-rated fuel economy, which depends on engine and transmission configuration.
- Driving style and conditions (city driving, highway cruising, terrain, and load).
- Climate and auxiliary loads (air conditioning use, heated seats, cargo weight).
Note: Tank capacity is around 17.2 gallons for most 2013 Accord sedans; trims and body styles may have slight variations.
In practice, you can expect roughly 480 to 530 miles per tank, depending on the configuration and how you drive.
Estimated miles per tank by configuration
Using a 17.2-gallon tank and EPA-based fuel economy figures, here are rough ranges:
- 4-cylinder with CVT: about 533 miles per tank (17.2 × 31 mpg).
- 4-cylinder with manual: about 481 miles per tank (17.2 × 28 mpg).
- V6 with automatic: about 447 miles per tank (17.2 × 26 mpg).
These are approximate values and assume a full tank at the start with typical mixed driving. Real-world results will vary.
Summary
In short, a 2013 Honda Accord generally yields around 450–550 miles per full tank, with the exact figure depending on engine, transmission, and driving habits. For planning purposes, many drivers find numbers near 480–530 miles to be a practical expectation.
