    My Prius C 2012 has 10200 miles and last 3 tanks of fuel I've notice that even after top it off at the pump the gauge doesn't go up to the last bar to show tank is full. It usually go up if I park on an unleveled surface. Has anyone notice this? I check my mpg manually and they are around 44 mpg.

    I've just had the same experience with my 2012 C. Did you ever figure out what the issue was?

    Mine isn't. I suspect the issue is overfilling. Just wondering if this is something that may correct itself. Hey, a guy can dream.
