How much does it take to fill up a Chevy Spark?
Typically about $30–$45 to fill the Spark's tank in the United States, depending on gas prices and model year.
The Chevy Spark is a small, city-friendly subcompact with a relatively modest fuel tank. Fill-up costs are driven by the tank size and the current price of gasoline in your area. Below is a practical guide to what you can expect and how to estimate the price at the pump.
Fuel Tank Capacity: What to Expect
Before listing the numbers, note that tank capacity can vary slightly by model year and market. The Spark generally uses a small fuel tank around 9.0 gallons (34 liters), though exact figures can range a bit depending on trim and regional specifications. The following notes summarize typical configurations.
Model-year and regional differences
- Most U.S.-market Chevy Sparks have a nominal fuel tank capacity of about 9.0 gallons (34 liters).
- Some international variants and older models may list capacities roughly between 8.8 and 9.2 gallons (33.3–35.0 liters).
In practice, you’ll almost always be filling a tank close to 9 gallons when you brim it, but the exact capacity can vary by year and market.
Estimating the Fill-Up Cost Based on Gas Price
To estimate how much a fill-up costs, multiply the tank capacity by the price per gallon in your area. Here are quick scenarios using a 9.0-gallon tank to illustrate common price points you might see at the pump.
- Gas at $3.20 per gallon: approximately $28.80 to fill the tank.
- Gas at $3.75 per gallon: approximately $33.75 to fill the tank.
- Gas at $4.25 per gallon: approximately $38.25 to fill the tank.
- Gas at $4.75 per gallon: approximately $42.75 to fill the tank.
Note that these figures assume you’re topping up to a full 9.0 gallons and that there are no partial-fuel anomalies at the pump. Actual fill costs may be slightly higher or lower depending on how much fuel you actually pump and any regional taxes or fees.
Bottom Line
For most Chevy Spark owners, a full tank costs in the neighborhood of $30–$45 in the United States, with variations driven by local gas prices and the exact tank capacity of the specific model year and market. When planning a fill-up, multiply the current price per gallon by the vehicle’s approximate 9.0-gallon capacity to get a near-accurate estimate.
Summary
Key takeaways: the Spark typically uses about 9.0 gallons of fuel, and fill-up costs scale with local gas prices. By multiplying 9.0 gallons by the current price per gallon in your area, you can estimate the cost to fill up. Variations exist by year and market, so check your vehicle’s manual or the manufacturer’s specification for the exact tank size in your region.
