I’m curious as to why small crossovers have tiny fuel tanks. I’ve seen the Buick Envista and that vehicle is plenty big enough to accomodate a 15-16 gallon tank to enable it to go at least 600 miles if not more at the 32mpg interstate rating. Why do automakers keep putting 11-13 gallon tanks in vehicles that only allow it to go around 300 miles on a tank. Wouldn’t the bigger fuel tank be the better and more sensible option?

My 2017 Subaru Crosstrek has a 15.9 gallon tank, according to Google the 2024 model has a 16.6 gallon tank, so I guess it depends on the automaker 🤷♂️
