I do not know if it is the cold weather or what, but I often get into my car and start it up and the gas gauge shows a "fuller" tank than it did when I left the car last...usually about 1/5 or 1/4 higher...and then eventually it will go back down to about where it was when I had left the car. What is a reason this could be happening and what reading should I look at as accurate, the start up location of the gauge needle or the level it goes down to after about 10 minutes of driving?

 

welcome to the crazy toyota gas guage club

 

Ok, I will take that as a indicator to dismiss it and just bank on the lowest gauge reading so I dont find myself out of gas. Thanks!

 

well my gas gauge has been past full for two days of regular driving...maybe im running super efficent or something...probably not
