Has anyone had this problem-- and have they found a "magical" way to simply solve it (or am I dreaming and hoping for an easy resolution...)?
Today I thought I would take advantage of some lower gas prices and do a small fill up. I calculated my MPG and added gas (I did not let it fill til it clicks off because my car's bladder is not perfect...).
Well, after I filled my car and turned on the car, the car did not do its "thing" and bring the boxes back up to full. In fact, it did not move AT ALL. It should have moved up 3 boxes....
I tried turning off the car. Waiting. And then turning back on the car... I even spoke nicely to the car. Nothing. Cute.
A while back, I did download that info about the gas guage: a part that may need to be replaced and/or the computer. I am on the "partial" list-- as best as I can tell.
But the service folks are on "strike" in St. Louis. So even if I wanted to get it fixed, I can't. And I am not too keen about letting even the inexperienced Prius service folks "muck about" on the inside of my car-- seeing as they have little experience with the car at all.....
Is there a magical, simple way to jolt the gas guage into a proper reading???? Darn it. My car should not be doing this.......
