Porsche 911 (992) petrol tank capacity and warning

992.1 fuel tank capacity that felt larger than 991.2

Until now, I haven't really wondered how much gasoline would fit in my car.

I know that there is an option to increase the capacity of the gasoline tank in the United States etc., but I did not particularly care about the capacity of my car, and I have never seen how many liters I got at the gas station every time. was.

However, after the arrival of 992, I started to feel the difference from 991.2, and from that point on, I was really worried about the capacity of the gasoline tank.

Because, when I thought that the amount of gasoline on the instrument was reduced to the same level as 991.2 and put in gasoline, I felt that the 992 was overwhelmingly more expensive (while understanding the fluctuation of the gasoline price). Somehow, it seems that black carrera has rarely exceeded 7,000 yen, but 992 always exceeds it).

So I thought, "Ah? Is the 992 actually a bigger fuel tank?"

Just when I had that question, I had a business to go to the Porsche Center, so I asked there as well. "Is the gasoline tank capacity of 991.2 and 992.1 the same?"

Then, both the advisor and the sales person answered, "It's the same. Both cars are 64 liters."

Well, that's right. Is it the same?

I wrote it myself when I checked it later (laughs) →Standard equipment list and main specifications of the new Porsche 911 Carrera S (992)

Then, when I asked why I thought "the tank capacity of 992 is larger", "maybe because the gauge of the remaining amount of gasoline of 992 is more accurate than before". thing.

So that's it.

In the case of 991.2, even if you look at the instrument and think that "the remaining amount of gasoline is 1/4", in fact there may be more gasoline left than 1/4, but with 992 it can be measured more accurately. Because of that, if you say "1/4 more", it's really about 1/4 more, so even if you think that "the remaining amount is the same" and add gasoline, 992 will actually enter more ... not.

992 fuel warning lights

Now, let's take a look at the fuel warning light of the Porsche 911 (992).

Normally, when the remaining amount of gasoline is less than half, I get scared and immediately add gasoline, but since I was out on this day, I noticed that the remaining amount was about 1/4.

Still, he says "I can run about 115 km" ↓

I was already thrilled at this point, but after that I can run 82 kilometers, so I tell myself, "Well, I can still afford it."

Don't get caught in traffic ...

For a while, I thought.

Wow.

The screen changed the moment I was about 80 kilometers left. Suddenly there is the word "monitor the mileage".

And from there, this gas station mark also lights up.

Indeed, the fuel warning light comes on when the remaining mileage reaches 80km.

Furthermore, in order to catch up with my impatience, the central screen suddenly says "Fuel low information fuel is low. Do you want to search for a nearby gas station?"

No, I was impatient when I was told something like this, so I pressed "No, it's fine! I'm going home for the time being! I'm going to the usual gas station!" And "Denial".

If you think about it now, you might have tried pressing "Search" ^^

I continued to run while being impatient, and when I had 50km left, I finally arrived at my favorite gas station.

Huh.

No, you might think, "If you have 50km left, you can afford it!", But for me, who always puts in gasoline when the remaining amount of gasoline is less than half, this is already. It was quite exciting ^^

The 992, which was fully filled, revived, saying, "High, I can run 626 kilometers more."

Was good.

so!

I'm worried about the amount of gasoline remaining at this time ... I was told that I could run another 50km (with good fuel economy because I was running at high speed), and the amount of gasoline I entered was "59.6 liters." "was.

Wow, did you mean that there was only 4.4 liters left in the 64 liter tank? ?? (Maybe it's actually coming in a little more?).

Looking at this, if you think that you were issuing a warning with a numerical value of 50 km with 4.4 liters remaining (when driving at high speed), I think that the remaining amount of gasoline is measured more accurately than 991.2. I did.

Next time, if I have a chance (if I have the courage (laughs)), I would like to bring the same 1/4 remaining amount & 50km remaining with 991.2 black carrera and see how many liters will fit at that time ^ ^
