I had to fuel up for the second time since buying the new 2008. The fuel gauge has never responded to the full tank, not after 2 days. I figured that the car would "get around" to noticing more gas when it felt like it. After failing to get results searching the forums, I decided to post this in hopes that there is a quick fix. Otherwise, I'll head on down to the Toyota dealer tomorrow and see what they say. Thanks!
Perhaps you could lean forward and tap the display a few times in case it's stuck. :-D Let's see if Galaxy weighs in on this one before you head to the dealer. Could be something simple or not.
My fuel gauge seems to lag behind the tank when I fill it, but only by a few minutes. Did yours work the first time? If not, I'd guess it's the fuel sensor. The fix may be simple, but I suspect it will still involve a trip to the dealer.
I'm on my 3rd tank on my '08 and the gauge will show full by the time I leave the gas station. Yeah, it's not immediate, but 1 bar per second is about the rate that it shows on the gauge. Mike
