2006 civic hybrid fuel tank capacity
are the 06's, since they are all supposed to be at-pzev's, all going to have the 11.9 or 13.2 gallon tank
? or are californian's still going to get the smaller 11.9 gallon tank?

Hi Jbtaco2002:
___That exact question was asked in one of the other 06 HCH threads a day or two ago. From those that had the 06 Civic brochure in hand, the 06 PZEV receives a 12.3 gallon tank vs. the 03-05’s 11.9 gallons. I thought I remember the poster saying the non-hybrid’s kept the 13.2 as their std. cap?
___Good Luck

13.2 Fuel (gal) for the DX LX EX
12.3 Fuel (gal) for the HYBRID
Brochure does not state what the Reserve is or when the Low-Fuel light comes on.
I would say the owners manual would give that info. or a call to your Honda Service Dept.

But what about the current hybrid? The 2005 ULEV HCH also is stated as having a 13.2 gallon tank. So how many gallons are used by the time the low-fuel light comes on: 11 or 13? They'd obviously not change their measurement methods between years so if 13.2 includes reserve in 2005 then it would include reserve in 2006.

12.3 Total Capacity
10.0 Gallons Used/Burned
2.3 gal. for reserve approx.
