Can someone explain engine size to me?

My car is a 3.3L but when I go to the gas station, it takes 19 gallons which is 72 liters. So then why is the engine size 3.3L?

It all has to do with how the equidistant length of the flux capacitor and the regurging complex HT rods. If they are closer together then, well it could be a disaster...Trust me, I know about these things.

@chrisCA No, we haven't used them since 1990, it is all carboperpic astrmomic diodes now.

@AndysLoft Hmmm 🤔

@chrisCA Hmmm indeed Sir.

It is how many cubic inches or centimeters are in the cylinders. The bigger the number, the more gas that is burned in the cylinders and as a result more power produced.

It isn't related to the fuel capacity of the gas tank.
@Pretzel Ah I see.

As each piston moves through its cycle in the cylinder the volume of space it moves through is it’s displacement. If a 3.3 liter engine has 6 cylinders, each one displaces .55liters

On average, the greater the total displacement, the more power the engine is capable of generating but other factors also play a part.
@redredred Thank you!

3.3 is the size of the engine. It has nothing to do with how much gas it holds.
@SW-User So the engine holds 3.3 liters to run. Got it. Thanks! 😁

Basically size & power. The bigger the number, the more capable it is usually. It's not about gas

If your car is a 3.3L then I'm guessing it's a V6?
@ChiefJustWalks Yeah it is.

@SinlessOnslaught No, 3.3 is the size of the engine. Like how much horsepower.
@SW-User I so confusion.

The internal volume of all cylinders added together.
FYI to viewers I edited the question to sound more simple. Soz 😁
