How far a 2019 Nissan Frontier goes on a tank
Gallons left and the distance they cover at each mark on the fuel gauge, at EPA city and highway mileage. At the combined rating of 19 MPG, a full 21.1-gallon tank covers about 401 miles.
| Gauge | Gallons | Highway miles | City miles |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full | 21.1 | 485 | 338 |
| 3/4 | 15.8 | 364 | 253 |
| 1/2 | 10.6 | 243 | 169 |

Over 15,000 miles a year (the EPA's yearly estimate) this configuration uses about 789 gallons, roughly 37 full tanks.
Fuel gauges aren't perfectly linear and the low-fuel light comes on with a few gallons still in the tank, so plan your stop before the last eighth.
